what table? there's nothing in the pic

It has 4 legs and a back, therefore it's a chair.

It can be put to use as either a table or a chair. However, the majority of the time it's use for sitting on.

Have completed an aesthetics course and from that it seems to me that it can be a table if that was the primary function intended by the designer. Anything can constitute a table, even a film of air such as the table that table hockey disks sit.

If its true to you that it's a table then it's a table. It's true to me that you're a fag and therefore you are a fag. Fin.

Arguably, an object is a table only if it has been produced by a conscious agent with some general intention about its use or possible use, and consequently in a world devote of conscious agents while there might be things like tables, there would be no tables.

So my table that was once a spool for wire isn't a table because the guy who made it thought it was a spool for wire?

>> No.2268992

just because it isn't a table doesn't mean it can't be used as one

it's not some bullshit "two things at once" fallacy, it's fucking common sense

>> No.2268998

intent of the "designer" has fuckin' nothing to do with how something can be used

it's the intent of the user that really matters on how it gets used

it IS, however, the designer's intent for something to BE what it is

Looks like a table, works like a table, it's a table. But the dude who made it thought it was a wire spool.
