LAWLER, Diego. Intenciones y artificios. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.14, pp.117-124. ISSN 1850-0013.

This article presents and discusses the philosophical core of the so called intentional approach on artifacts. In particular, it analyses the intuition that claims that an artifact is the object that it is because it has been produced according to the intention of being precisely that object and not another one. In the first part of this article the basic claims of this position are formulated. In the second part certain objections are presented. The purpose consists of beginning to delineate the respective pros and cons of this approach.

Palavras-chave : Intention; Artifact; Intentional approach.
