According to Heidegger, technē is a Greek word that means 'to make something appear', whereas poiēsis means the art of something that is. These terms can be likened to his 'building' (Bauen) and 'dwelling' (Wohnen). And the relationship between the two is what I wanted to explore in this blog. I have always felt that I learn best through doing. I want to examine both process and product; I want to see my life as something that is being constructed.
