Abstract
It is a basic assumption of classical modern epistemology that any genuine / true knowledge is factual knowledge (Tatsachenwissen). Moreover, separate facts correspond with the certain statements regarding how the things are presented to us. If these statements are true and genuine, then the corresponding facts are being present and visa versa. However, the philosophy of technology insists on the fact, that we, the people, carry out not only world contemplation so as to enunciate true statements. We all interact somehow with the material things when we either do something or build. For this very purpose we need some knowledge that is to be examined and further developed. There are suggestions to characterize this very knowledge as material knowledge (Dingwissen). However, this expression after all deceives the addressee. It is reasonable to suppose that there exist the working knowledge knowledge concerning the components operate within the scope of the clock mechanism or steelworks (Uhrwerk oder Stahlwerk). The most important thing is not the potential of things but the correlation between them this way or another.
