honorable craft and modern

© 2008/Dirk Ludwig


The horseshoe is a traditional and certainly honorable craft. He is aged around 2000 years and has changed in that time what the actual technology itself, concerned, hardly. Representations from the Saxons in the mirror 11. Century show the operations, which are still carried out even in this kind of blacksmith. On the question remains as to whether the forging is an art, and hence the horseshoe are the ghosts. Judged an art, an old Danish book forging was not hard enough, but not art. We want to pan the book is not now but later it is a strange sentence. Perhaps the author does not know of the past, perhaps he never saw the perfection of a sword from the hand of a master, or did he never the divine in a perfect tool should look? Art is the transmission of the sensation of the divine element to the concrete world of man. In a picture of a cantata or a poem that is specifically expectant gaze of the creators of what he sees and how he handles it. And if the blacksmith was going on just now? His deepest and purest sense in incorporating the blade of a knife? Then there would not be a work whose form language compelled us to the admission that it is art?

While the honorable craft essentially always has to be a creative process, it keeps the work in the mere business stuck in all of creation is excluded because the workers only filled or emptied and the process itself can not determine everything. The blacksmith's anvil, be holy, because he can see him yourself, the machine is working his machine resources for the purpose of earning a living. The factory of modernity created by their need for regular routine of the worker, contrary to the tradition of the craft, whose work indeed in some cases, routine calls, but this in a different relationship to reality is. A blacksmith forged nails by hand and each of these nails is unique, because the feelings of the blacksmith are reflected in the work piece. In one factory, the sensation of the worker is the same thing, every nail is the same! No end a little thicker or thinner, no edge more round or square. In the modern result of the conflict between craft and machine work by the greed of the merchant and the consumer. Both merchant and consumer pull this together and, although it is not in their interest to change it and create a new level.

the honorable craft was since time immemorial, the principle, where two can be satisfied through work, are also two that work done, apply in this regard in a factory other laws. Where more can be produced with fewer workers, must happen, because the factory that has a root in the workshop, the other in the greed, no longer has internal structure that reflects the people and by the people is alienated and himself, where he relies on them entortet. Not so in the traditional Craft. The place is always the man, not the machine. It remains the master left to the rhythm of the work with the hand hammer to vote and vote a fellow of increases in the now lifting song of the forge. It appears from the will and skill of the master the song, from the need of the machine or the merchant, making the machine subservient. Hardly surprising

come from the Anglo-Saxon considering how the profit should be increased for farriers best. There are tools invented or adapted so that the farrier can also work quite alone, he does not need any more helpers. This is useful in times when the purchasing power in general markedly decreased, but at the same time it destroys social bonds, it undermines the principle of the old European Fides and returns it into the general felony, which now makes the rounds everywhere. When the master constraint is destroyed, there is a short-term effect, because of more "artists" can open very quickly a "deal" and there is a long-term effect is that social structures are destroyed and directed to the substitute consumption. Quite apart from making the bungling, even the largest of North America based business. You know, anyone can buy any tool at all, and even tinkering, whether he can or not is irrelevant because it does not comes to a tough plant. Later, the tools are getting cheaper self-produced, so that the resulting work is as fast-paced, as is his tool, too. There will be private bungling the new culture and promoted the general lack of culture.

Is Smoking Weed Good For Cataracks

The reversion to small states, or what brings us the ruling of the SNB in terms of horseshoes?

© 2008/Dirk Ludwig

rejected since recently, the Federal Constitutional Court, the new Hufbeschlagsgesetz in part, by the shrill cheers of interested parties hardly an end. Naturally, they benefit as a single and an above-average by the decision. But first things first. Do you know the situation after 30 years of war in Germany a little? No! Then let our consideration of the appeal start with a little time travel.

As in the horseshoe that time the situation was in Germany on the whole, confused and without any binding order. Every little prince or who considered himself something like that could put his own interests over the public interest. Each mini-state had its own laws and taxes, train artisans were as they wanted, because the corporations no longer existed and virtually every village blacksmith shoed horses, even if he had never learned anything like this. The only obligation was largely in the fact that nothing was as authentic. The damage was caused to the horses was immense, causing many contemporaries Goethe's bilious comments.

That these conditions called for a clarification is self Clarification came in the political field as well as in horseshoes, but we want here simply to point out that the situation is not of the horseshoe have been better than the entire political-economic situation both in Germany and no digression into history. The horseshoe itself was lifted only by the power of Graf von Einsiedel and the adoption of mandatory regulations for the country to an acceptable level. Was largely driven by uniform guidelines for scientifically based training for young blacksmiths contributed to the new level in Germany could prevail. Today we have a more complicated situation in the horseshoe and yet she is like that time without liability.

The shrill sounds of rejoicing - they sound like whistling in the dark - are certainly more than justified: They know perfectly well that they have won only against a loveless drafted legislation, not by the persuasive argument, and so we have a further round into the house, that will come because they must. The ruling cements a situation of public transport in Germany, which is similar to those from before Einsiedel work. Everyone can do what he wants, even the absurd hypothesis can be converted into cash. In thirty days to the farrier, testing outside Germany to pay for existing, no problem! The small states have caught up with us, once again created conditions that need clarification ...
