工匠精神是一種普遍存在「匠人」之中的特殊人格特質，一種純粹就想把工作做好而做好工作的慾望。它是一種持久而基本的人類衝動，是在實作的過程中進行生命經驗與生活感知的辯證與思考。這種專注把工作「做好」的慾望，讓工匠精神超越技藝的培育養成，而成為一種重視真實生活場域中物質材料、身體感知、社會集體與公共性實踐間交互辯證的生命哲學。這種生命哲學驅動工匠職人們不斷地在實作的場域中積累身體知識與技能的經驗，並在發現問題、解決問題的過程中，辯證出自己的觀點與信念，推動社會的進步。（全文請見《實構築季刊》14期）

Craftsmanship is a special character that is common among "craftsmen", a pure desire to perform a good job. It is a lasting and basic human impulse, which aims to conduct dialectic thinking of perception and experience of life in the process of making. The desire of "doing the job well" makes the craftsmanship go beyond the cultivation of skills and become a philosophy of life that emphasizes the interaction and dialectics between materials, physical perception, social collectiveness and public practice in the real life field. This philosophy of life drives the craftsmen to continuously accumulate physical knowledge and experience in the field of practice, dialectically establish their own views and beliefs in the process of discovering and solving new problems, and eventually promote the progress of society.
