More precisely, the book is about usinganddesigningartefacts, aboutwhatitmeanstoascribefunctionstothem, and about the relations between using, designing and ascribing functions. In the following pages, we present a detailed account that shows how strong these relations are. Technical functions cannot be properly analysed without taking into regard the beliefs and actions of human beings, we contend. This account stays deceptively close to common sense. After all, who would deny that artefacts are for whatever purpose they are designed or used? As we shall show, however, such intentionalist accounts face staunch opposition from other accounts, such as those that focus on long-term reproduction of artefacts. These accounts are partly right and mostly wrong — and although we do take a common-sense position in the end, it is only after sophisticated analysis. F- thermore, the results of this analysis reveal that technical functions depend on a larger and more structured set of beliefs an | | 出版日期 | Book 2010 | | 关键词 | Analysis of testimony; Art; Design engineering; Designing plans; ICE funtion theory; Technical artefacts; | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-3900-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-3197-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-90-481-3900-2Series ISSN 1879-7202 Series E-ISSN 1879-7210 | | issn_series | 1879-7202 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 |
