Abstract

The essay employs the orthodox canon of philosophical discourses in order to inquire into the relationship between episteme and techne. Platonic and Aristotelian postulates are used to trace the historical understandings of the connection between knowing and making in the development and execution of a craft. The metaphor of weaving—instrumental in Platonic discourse—is employed as the thread running through the discussion; this metaphor is also employed to guide the application of episteme and techne to textile production, in particular through a structural analysis of the pleated fabrics used by Mariano Fortuny and Issey Miyake.
