    Antirealism and Artefact Kinds.Marzia Soavi - 2009 - Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 13 (2):93-107.
    Many realists on kinds deem it highly controversial to consider artefact kinds real kinds on a par with natural ones. There is a built-in tendency in realism to conceive of artefact kinds as merely a conventional classification used for practical purposes. One can individuate three main different approaches characterizing real kinds and accordingly three different types of arguments against viewing artefact kinds as real kinds: the metaphysical, the epistemological and the semantic arguments. The aim of this contribution is to undermine (...)

    1. Introduzione Immaginate di guardare in una certa direzione nel cielo. Vedete un oggetto avvicinarsi. A un certo punto, dopo un alcuni istanti di incertezza, pensate di aver capito di cosa si tratta e dite al vostro amico: «È un uccello!». L’oggetto continua ad avvicinarsi e le ali che prima vi sembravano in movimento ora vi appaiono decisamente ferme. Inoltre la velocità non può essere quella di un uccello. Vi correggete ed esclamate: «È un aereo!». Cominciate a essere preoccupati perché (...)

    Ontology for information systems: artefacts as a case study.Massimiliano Carrara & Marzia Soavi - 2008 - Mind and Society 7 (2):143-156.
    The goal of the paper is to analyse some specific features of a very central concept for top-level ontologies for information systems: i.e. the concept of artefact. Specifically, we analyse the relation to be a copy of that is strongly linked to the notion of artefact and—as we will demonstrate—could be useful to distinguish artefacts from objects of other kinds. Firstly, we outline some intuitive and commonsensical reasons for the need of a clarification of the notion of artefact in ontologies (...)
