For everyday practices to give meaning to people's lives and unite them in a community
something must collect the scattered practices of the group, unify them into coherent possibilities
for action, and hold them up to the people. People can then act and relate themselves to each other
in terms of this exemplar. An object that performs this function Heidegger calls a work of art.
