In 'The Craftsman,' Richard Sennett explores craftsmanship as a fundamental skill that transcends traditional trades like pottery and extends to modern activities such as programming and raising children. Sennett argues that craftsmanship involves tacit knowledge and a material culture that are transmitted through social interaction, enriching social capital. The book highlights the intrinsic motivation of the craftsman to perform a job well, finding satisfaction in the execution itself and the final result. This humanist perspective highlights the importance of work as a source of personal and social value.
