	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: About Homo Faber
		Homo Faber caused an immediate response among readers and critics.
		The most direct linkage between Walter Faber and Max Frisch is that in his youth Frisch was engaged to a German Jewess who ultimately broke it off because she felt that Frisch did not love her.
		Faber tries to live in the present so, in his eyes, the Nazi past, the new hope of socialism in Eastern Europe, and the development of the Third World all seem immaterial.

	Mind Hacks: Tom
		Homo faber in truth, is God’s answer to the test of time, a divinely inspired lot whose creative impulse is to render God’s telesis to fruition.
		Homo faber taps the functional unit of God as the unit of measure by which to tare existence, per se, God is the weight of existence (to tare is to deduct the weight of the container from the gross weight to determine the weight of the contents).
		Homo faber neither counterfeits nor depreciates their currency of word by habitually uttering incontinent statements such as “I can’t believe…” (with God all things are possible).

	Wolfgang Schirmacher - Homo Generator: Media and Postmodern Technology
		Homo generator is not a telematic tale of technological triumph over nature, as Vilem Flusser used to tell it (before he died in a car accident in 1991), nor proof of a technological mutation to a higher form.
		Homo generator is not a success story and will not vouch for progress, but by the same token homo generator begins to fulfill the artificial existence of humanity.
		Homo generator has no fear of his or her mistakes, for they are inseparable from his or her succeeding-as body politics teaches us.

		Margaret Atwood's novel Oryx and Crake (2003) critiques modernity's commitment to homo faber-he who labors to use every instrument as a means to achieve a particular end in building a world, even when the fabrication of that world necessarily demands a repeated violation of its materiality, including its people.
		Under girding the development of homo faber is a basic, instrumental philosophy that has contributed to an elision of violence against material goods, including human instruments.
		Homo faber's instrumental worldview-grounded in separation and enclosure-acts as the cohesive agent that assures Jimmy a leading role in Crake's "Paradice" project.

	MetaHistory - Metahistory: Lexicon
		Humanism was defined (unfortunately) before the biological identity of the human species was clearly established, yet humanism would seem to be the sole philosophy that asserts the value of species-based identity over other codes and distinctions.
		Some variants of Linneaus’ classification are: homo faber, “tool-maker,” homo ludens, “playful primate,” homo docens, “learned animal.” In the neologism abo sapiens, the slot for Genus is occupied by abo rather than homo, while Species, the eighth and final slot, remains unchanged.
		The Primate homo remains the same, but the emphasis on its distinguishing marks changes: it is distinguished by playfulness (ludens), education (docens) or tool-making capacities (faber).

	Constant Nieuwenhuis: New Babylon
		Homo Ludens has only ever been a rarely manifested modality of Homo Sapiens, a condition that, unlike [the condition of] Homo Faber, largely goes unnoticed.
		It is obvious that a person free to use his time for the whole of his life, free to go where he wants, when he wants, cannot make the greatest use of his freedom in a world ruled by the clock and the imperative of a fixed abode.
		From Homo Faber's point of view, New Babylon is an uncertain universe in which the 'normal' man is at the mercy of every possible destructive force, every kind of aggression.

		He is to adore God in his very being (homo adorans) and in his actions (homo faber); when he does so he is reflecting wisdom or imitating the divine (homo sapiens).
		Homo adorans is also homo faber, and as such his gifts are ordered to the praise of the Creator.
		To this end, human artistry – the work of homo faber in the service of homo adorans – must orchestrate a praise which is not prosaic, but cosmic and glorious.

	daedalus (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The homo faber theme, as it came to Ovid, can be traced back through Hellenistic literature (22) and Greek tragedy (23) to Hesiod who gives a full treatment in the Prometheus myth (24) and in the myth of the Ages (25).
		The dreadful loss of his son cannot be seen, within the Icarus story, as a punishment of a father (as Niobe was punished through the death of her children) because the necessary 'punishing agent' is absent (39).
		Since Daedalus the homo faber is not engaged in an act of hybris, but in an act of creation according to the Lucretian notion of progress, the virtue of moderation now appears appropriate and not at all psychologically incongruous, as it seemed to be in a 'classic' interpretation of the myth.
