Resumen
The aim of my work is to reach an all-embracing and satisfactory, although rough and somewhat loose, characterization of “artifact”. After providing some reasons for such a characterization, I support a notion of “artifact” that covers also abstract entities; entities which, however, at the ontological level do not need to be materially implemented. Since material realization is not a condition of artifactuality, I recognize as the distinctive mark of artifacts the special feature that requires that an artifact be recognized as such. In this, artifacts reveal an ontological nature that is deeply involved with communication. Thus I appeal to the Relevance theory of communication, formulated by Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson in 1986, in order to grasp the communicative element which is essential and constitutive of artifacts.
