本文的主题是技术性（相对于生物性）故障的概念。它展示了如何从属性F和属性修饰符malfunctioning（将一个属性映射到另一个属性）形成一个故障F属性。我们提出了故障的两种解释。两种解释都认为，一个故障的F缺乏作为F的功能的属性。然而，它的主观解释要求故障的F是F，而它的剥夺解释要求故障的F不是F。我们列出了它们各自的逻辑结果，并讨论了两种解释的一些哲学含义。
The topic of this paper is the notion of technical (as opposed to biological) malfunction. It is shown how to form the property being a malfunctioning F from the property F and the property modifier malfunctioning (a mapping taking a property to a property). We present two interpretations of malfunctioning. Both interpretations agree that a malfunctioning F lacks the dispositional property of functioning as an F. However, its subsective interpretation entails that malfunctioning Fs are Fs, whereas its privative interpretation entails that malfunctioning Fs are not Fs. We chart various of their respective logical consequences and discuss some of the philosophical implications of both interpretations.
