Techne
Etymology
Greek "techne" meant art, craft, or applied skill — the productive knowledge of the artisan. Aristotle distinguished it from "episteme," theoretical knowledge, and "phronesis," practical wisdom. It is the root of "technique," "technology," and "technocracy."
noun · /TEK-nee/
Practical craft or skill — the know-how of making or doing something well.
What it names
Knowledge that lives in the hands and the making, distinct from knowledge held only in the mind.
Example
A recipe conveys information, but techne is what the grandmother has and the printout lacks: skill built into the wrist.
Related idea
The root shared by technocracy and technology; techne is knowledge embodied in making, not in contemplation.
