Description

Richard Sennett's The Craftsman is a provocative exploration of craftsmanship as a way of life. In an age dominated by pure competition, Sennett argues that the values of the craftsman can enrich our lives and change the way we approach work and the world around us. The book delves into the past lives of crafts and craftsmen, revealing ways of working that provide rewarding alternatives for people to utilise their talents. By examining the tools, skills, and materials used in various crafts, Sennett shows how these approaches can be applied to everyday life, leading to more fulfilling motivations and a deeper connection with the world. Through his analysis, Sennett aims to reconnect thinking with making, reviving the simple pleasure in the everyday object and the useful task. This book offers a fresh perspective on the value of craftsmanship and its relevance to our modern lives.
