:I totally agree. This page is terrible. It's filled with meaningless gibberish, like "an action that transforms and continues the world" and "poïetic work reconciles thought with matter and time". I have no idea what, if anything, those statements are supposed to mean. This page should be rewritten by someone who knows how to use language to clearly communicate ideas.

I agree with the previous comments: this page is largely unintelligible. Not only that, but is poiesis even a word? Two of the most reputable online English Dictionaries (dictionary.com and m-w.com) indicate that it is only used to form compound words and not itself a word. If people want to keep this entry, then fine, but I think that there should at least be a note indicating that its status as an English word is not certain.

Can anyone tell me where Heidegger said what he said on poiesis according to this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.46.17.59 (talk) 08:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Heidegger reference is to page 10 of his essay, "The Question Concerning Technology" (QCT and Other Essays, trans. William Lovitt, 1977, Garland). Silverquick (talk) 22:39, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs work. I have a Masters in political theory and sometimes read philosophy for a hobby and the whole page is incomprehensible to me. I have no idea what Poiesis means after reading this. 193.36.20.132 (talk) 08:19, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
