Getting
on sartre's bike: teaching the object that essence does not precede existence
Models
of design, based on models of God, allow that objects appear to plan. On
this model, objects are made before they are made. That is, the design is
carried through to the product in such a way that production offers no surprise.
However, when this object arrives in the world of experience, its initial
ownership is immediately transcended: the object is in need of being used.
To become utile it must firstly be taught its use. In its teaching, the
object undergoes the appropriation of creation and then destruction as it
is taken up in the human project.
