THE THEORY OF AFFORDANCES – AN INSPIRATION FOR ERGONOMICS
Teoria afordancji – inspiracją dla ergonomii

Summary/Abstract: In the paper I am at presenting philosophically reach theory of affordances as a way of extending the range of research methods used in ergonomics. In the paper I am concern with the fundamentals of the theory of affordances as presented originally by Gibson (1977, 1979) and developed by Heft (1989). I highlight philosophically significant aspects of the classical theory of affordances and propose further topics for investigation. I also propose introduction of the notion of rigid affordance for the special class of affordances important for ergonomics.
