The aesthetics of Functions!
In their attempt to resolve the indeterminacy problem in connection with the realm of artifacts, the authors appeal to the concept of function as "selective effect" recently developed in the philosophy of the biological sciences. In the course of things, the authors recognize and readily acknowledge that the notion of a `proper function' is vague and that there may be no clear answers available. However, if the authors theoretical stance developed in this book, itself finds success in the market place of ideas, then they may well have on the very grounds offered, and perhaps much to their own delight, proven the point of their argument on behalf of the proper function of artifacts as "selective effect."
The reading of this book is to be encouraged, for it works to leaven the subject of aesthetics with that of function which, in so much of its past, it has not sought to tread; and especially for those of us interested in things to be admired for their beauty, not only for what they are, but also what they can do, and actually do in the performances of their functions.
