In ancient Greek philosophy, techne and poiesis are distinct but related concepts. Techne refers to a skill, craft, or art, encompassing the practical knowledge and techniques involved in making something or achieving a goal. Poiesis, on the other hand, signifies the act of bringing something into being, creation, or production, often associated with a transformative process. While techne provides the means or method, poiesis is the broader concept of bringing something forth into existence. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Techne (τέχνη):

• Meaning: Skill, craft, art, technique, or method. 
• Focus: The practical knowledge and ability to produce something or achieve a specific outcome. 
• Examples: A carpenter's skill in woodworking, a physician's knowledge of medicine, a general's strategy in warfare. 
• In ancient philosophy: Often contrasted with episteme (theoretical knowledge). 

Poiesis (ποίησις):

• Meaning: Bringing forth, creation, production, making. 
• Focus: The broader act of bringing something into existence, often involving a transformation or a "making present". 
• Examples: A sculptor creating a statue, a poet writing a poem, a god creating the world. 
• In ancient philosophy: Often contrasted with praxis (doing something, action). 

Relationship between Techne and Poiesis:

• Techne is often seen as a necessary component of poiesis, as skill and technique are needed to bring something into being. 
• However, poiesis is a broader concept that encompasses the entire creative process, while techne focuses on the specific methods and skills involved. 
• For example, a poet uses techne (knowledge of language, verse forms, etc.) to engage in the poiesis of a poem. 
• Heidegger, for instance, viewed techne as a way of bringing forth truth, a form of poiesis. 
• In essence, techne provides the tools and methods, while poiesis is the overarching act of creation.
