"Techne" is a term, etymologically derived from the Greek word τέχνη, translated as "craftsmanship", "craft", or "art". Techne is a term in philosophy which resembles epistēmē in the implication of knowledge of principles, although techne differs in that its intent is making or doing as opposed to disinterested understanding. Martin Heidegger maintains that the concept for the ancients goes together with episteme citing Plato who used the two terms interchangeably; the idea is that techne and episteme mean knowing and "both words are names for knowledge in the widest sense." However, Aristotle distinguishes between the two, as different modes of thought. As an activity, techne is concrete and context-dependent; as one observer has argued, techne "was not concerned with the necessity and eternal a priori truths of the cosmos, nor with the a posteriori contingencies and exigencies of ethics and politics. Moreover, this was a kind of knowledge associated with people; that is, techne was chiefly operative in the domestic sphere, in farming and slavery, not in the free realm of the Greek polisAristotle saw it as representative of the imperfection of human imitation of nature.

For the ancient Greeks, it signified all the mechanic arts, including music. The English aphorism, "gentlemen don't work with their hands", is said to have originated in ancient Greece in relation to their cynical view on the arts. Due to this view, it was only fitted for the lower class while the upper class practiced the liberal arts of'free' men. Socrates compliments techne only when it was used in the context of epistēmē. Epistēmē sometimes means knowing; the craft-like knowledge is called a technê. It is most useful when the knowledge is applied, rather than theoretically or aesthetically applied. For the ancient Greeks, when techne appears as art, it is most viewed negatively, whereas when used as a craft it is viewed positively because a craft is the practical application of an art, rather than art as an end in itself. In The Republic, written by Plato, the knowledge of forms "is the indispensable basis for the philosophers' craft of ruling in the city". Techne is used in philosophical discourse to distinguish from art.

"In fact and arts referred less to a class of objects than to the human ability to make and perform... the issue is not about the presence or absence of a word but about the interpretation of a body of evidence, I believe there is massive evidence that the ancient Greeks and Romans had no category of fine art." In his work The Invention of Art, Larry Shiner argues that techne cannot be translated to art nor either to craft. This being due to art and craft being constructed at a certain period in history. Techne is used as a term to further define the process of rhetoric as an art of persuasion. In his writing Toward a Sophistic Definition of Rhetoric, rhetoric scholar Dr. John Poulakos explains how the Sophists believed rhetoric to be an art that aimed for terpis, or aesthetic pleasure, while maintaining a medium of logos. For centuries, debate between sophists and followers of Plato has ensued over whether rhetoric can be considered a form of art based on the different definitions of techne.

Contrasting from others, Isocrates saw rhetoric as an art—yet in the form of a set of rules, or a handbook. Some examples of handbooks are the Rhetoric of Aristotle, the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum, the De Inventione of Cicero, all composed of rules to write effective speeches. On the other hand, it can be seen in David Roochnik's book of Art and Wisdom: Plato's Understanding of Techne that Plato viewed techne as "a stable body of reliable knowledge able to tell us, in fixed terms teachable to others, how we ought to live." He believed that moral knowledge is equivalent to a techne and that the meaning of the term techne must be grasped to understand the nature of moral knowledge. In Gorgias, Plato wrote that rhetoric is not techne but a habit of a ready wit. Plato continued saying rhetoric is not an art but an experience because it fails to explain the nature of its own application, he compared it to cookery and medicine saying cookery pretends to know what is best for the body because it is pleasurable while medicine knows what is for the best of the health of the human body.

Medicine is techne for it seeks what is best for the health of a person unlike cookery, only for pleasure and fools a person into believing it is better for their health. Richard Parry writes that Aristotle believed techne aims for good and forms an end, which could be the activity itself or a product formed from the activity. Aristotle used health as an example of an end, produced from the techne of medicine. To make a distinction between techne and arete, he said the value of techne is the end product while arete values choosing the action that promotes the best moral good. Techne is a part of communication, affects how human cultures interact; when people speak to one another, they apply their knowledge of social interactions and nonverbal cues, their shared language to the skill of speaking. It is both personal and social, everybody has their own personal techne around their speech based on learned experiences and personal tics, social in that communities all communicate amongst each other on the interpersonal and large scale.

In relation to communication, techne is based less on what a person says or thinks, but on what they do. The mechanical action of speaking is unconscious, most of the work takes place in the c

Canadian federal elections have provided the following results in the Côte-Nord and Saguenay. This region used to be traditionally Liberal, except for Roberval which has voted for the Social Credit Party; the Liberal dominance ended in 1984 as Brian Mulroney, from this area, was able to gather Quebec nationalist support and sweep the region in 1984 and 1988. With the advent of the nationalist Bloc Québécois in 1993, nationalist support left the Tories, this area became a traditional Bloc stronghold; this is true except for the Chicoutimi area which has voted federalist with André Harvey running as a Progressive Conservative and winning in 1997, running as a Liberal and winning in 2000. The Bloc swept the region in 2004, but the Conservatives picked up a seat here in 2006 and weakened the Bloc's grip on the remaining seats as Liberal support collapsed. In 2011, another regional sweep gave four of the five seats to the New Democrats, shutting out the Bloc and leaving the Conservatives with one of their two seats.

In the 2015 election, the NDP lost all but one of its seat in the region, while the Bloc managed a comeback in the Côte-Nord region, the Liberals won one seat in Chicoutimi and the Conservatives won one seat in the southwestern part of the region near Quebec City. ^ André Forbes was no longer endorsed by the party. ^ Girard-Bujold lost nomination battle ^ André Harvey was elected as a Progressive-Conservative in the 1997 election but left the PC caucus to seat as a Liberal MP. 2.^ Lucien Bouchard was elected as a Progressive-Conservative in 1988 election but left the PC caucus in 1990 to seat as independent and Bloc Québécois MP from 1991 onwards
