Techne and Morality

As has been previously discussed, Aristotle's questionable concept of the relation between Doing and Making complicates that of the relation between Techne and Practical Virtue, and, hence, of the Moral status of Techne.  So, to begin, instead, with the concept of Production, which connotes the generation of any concrete actuality, Productive Reason is any Mental formulation that is productive.  In a diety, a mere thought or fiat might suffice for creativity.  But in humans, the formulation must be executed.  Now, the immediate Product of such execution is some Conduct, which, in many cases, also generates some non-human Product.  In other words, in humans, the immediate Product of Productive Reason is a Doing, of which Making is a special case, i. e. the Product of Making is a mediate Product of Productive Reason.  Thus, for example, in Aristotle's doctrine, two formulas of Productive Reason are: 'Act in accordance with a Mean', and 'Treat a friend as another Self'.  So, since the Conduct produced by the execution of those formulas includes the Virtues of Generosity and Friendship, Productive Reason is not antithetical to traditional Moral values.  Likewise, since Techne--Knowing-How--is human Productive Reason, any association of it with dehumanization can only be derived from either a misunderstanding of the concept, or extrinsic factors.
