Techne is a term in philosophy [1], which resembles episteme in the involvement of knowledge of the principles, although techne differs in that its intention is to make or make opposition to understanding desinteresada.Como an activity, techne is concrete, variable and dependent on the context. As one observer has argued, techne  quot; does not refer to the necessity and eternal truths a priori of the cosmos, or with contingencies to retrospectively and demands of ethics and politics. [...] On the other hand, it was a type of knowledge associated with people heading to the need. i.e., techne was operating mainly domestic, agriculture and slavery, and not in the Greek polis-free realm [2] Aristotle saw it as representative of the imperfection of the imitation of human nature. For the ancient Greek, that meant all the arts mechanical, including the medicine and the music. He aphorism English,  quot; gentlemen not working with their hands quot; is says that is originated in the ancient Greece in relation to its vision cynical of them arts. Due to this point of view, only be furnished for the lower class, while the high class practiced the Liberal Arts of men  quot; quot; free (Dorter 1973). Socrates also compliments techne only when used in the context of episteme. Episteme times means knowing how to do something similar handcrafted. The knowledge of the craft, as it is called techne. Is more useful when the knowledge is applied in the practice, rather than apply theoretical or aesthetic. For the ancient Greek, when techne appears as art, is more often is sees negatively, while when is used as a trade that is a made positive because is a boat of it application practice of an art, rather than the art as an end in itself same. In the Republic, written by Plato, knowledge of Forms  quot; is the basis for statecraft in the city of the philosophers quot; (Stanford 2003)
