"Good God! You never shut up about cobblers and fullers and cooks and doctors!" So Callicles charges Plato's Socrates with an excessive fascination with the τϵχνη in the Gorgias (491a). Callicles certainly has a point: Plato refers to τϵχνη ("art," "craft," "profession," "expertise") hundreds of times in the dialogues, while also portraying Socrates as a former δημι oυργoς ("craftsman," "professional") himself (Alc. 1.121a; Euthphr. 11c).In my dissertation, I examine the philosophical importance of τϵχνη in Plato. The first part discusses the idea of τϵχνη in the wider Greek world of the fifth and fourth centuries. Chapter one shows how Plato connects Socrates with the god of craft, Hephaistos, and how this is related to the Athenian setting of the dialogues. The second chapter uses literary, art historical, and epigraphic sources to identify four major features of a τϵχνη: (I) connection with low social status; (II) teachability; (III) specialization; (IV) rationality.The second part of the dissertation turns to Plato proper. The third chapter examines the important question of how Plato's terms for crafts, knowledge, learning, and professions are structured. Contrary to previous work that has asserted the equivalence of τϵχνη and ϵπιστημη, I argue that ϵπιστημη picks up on the teachable, intellectual component of τϵχνη. Against a common misconception, I argue that the opposite of τϵχνη for Plato is not ϵμπϵιρια ("experience," "practice") but παρϵργoν ("hobby") and that this contrast, and the one made by the terms for the individuals who pursue each of these (δημιoυργ oς/ιδιωτης, "professional"/ "amateur"), is central to Plato's conception of what makes something a true τϵχνη. For Plato, mere book knowledge will not be enough: extensive practice or experience is, in fact, an absolute requirement for true mastery of a given field. The fourth and fifth chapters then turn to this theme in two related contexts. First, I assess how Plato portrays the sophists as practitioners of pseudo-τϵχναι; and then, in the final chapter, I turn to the Republic, where philosophy itself is construed as a τϵχνη.
