[Backcover:] The main importance of the classification of objects presented in this book lies in the fact that it helps us plot the world of tools and its evolution in a comprehensive manner with the aid of artefactual categories.
This manner of classification of objects is based on a morphological-functional consideration of the properties of household objects. This involves man-made objects separate from the fixed built environment that form a functioning and usable artefactual entity - a tool. The classification focuses on the moveable household objects of an ordinary home.
The purpose of the classification is to study the organization of the forms of artefacts, the significance of their parts and the basic properties of tools, and to explain the connections and relationships between objects and their environment. The classification describes the most important basic properties of objects.
