摘要: Abstract In this paper we present an action-theoretic account of artefact using and designing describe our ICE-theory function ascriptions to technical artefacts. By means theory analyse the thesis dual nature artefacts according which descriptions draw on structural intentional conceptualisations. We show that ascription functions can connect parts artefacts, but also separate these parts. Our conclusion is concept forms a ‘conceptual drawbridge’ between natures
