在本文中，它检验了在多大程度上功能，如在技术人工制品的哲学中分析的那样，可以在解释这些对象的审美欣赏方面发挥作用。主要结论是，尽管第一次出现，所谓的“功能性美”的说法不能从人工功能的分析中获得力量；相反，这些分析限制了发展一种合适的、以功能为基础的审美解释的可能性。本文采用概念工程方法。在提出审美欣赏的必要说明后，回顾了从人工功能的哲学工作中得出的相关见解。结合需求和见解，确定了三个主要问题，使技术人工制品的功能归属和审美欣赏之间的关系复杂化。最后，提供了解决这些并发症或完全避免它们的选项。
In this paper, it is examined to what extent functions, as analysed in the philosophy of technical artefacts, can serve a role in explaining the aesthetic appreciation of these objects. The main conclusion is that, despite first appearances, so-called ‘Functional Beauty’ accounts cannot derive strength from analyses of artefact functions; on the contrary, these analyses constrain the possibilities for developing a suitable, function-based account of aesthetic appreciation. The paper follows a conceptual-engineering approach. After presenting desiderata for an account of aesthetic appreciation, relevant insights are reviewed that are drawn from philosophical work on artefact functions. Combining the desiderata and insights, three major issues are identified that complicate the relation between function ascriptions to and aesthetic appreciation of technical artefacts. In closing, options are offered for resolving these complications or avoiding them altogether.
