Verbeeks research focuses on the social and cultural roles of technology and the ethical and anthropological aspects of human-technology relations. He recently published the book What Things Do: Philosophical Reflections on Technology, Agency, and Design (Penn State University Press, 2005), in which he elaborates an analysis of how technologies mediate human actions and experiences, with applications to industrial design.

It is a fundamental problem exactly how the intentional and the physical conceptualization are related. If functions are seen primarily as ‘added to’ the physical substrate, or as realized in physical objects, then the question remains how these functions are related to the mental states of human individuals -which, after all, form the core of the intentional conceptualization. If functions are seen primarily as patterns of mental states, on the other hand, and exist, so to speak, in the heads of the designers and users of artifacts only, then it becomes somewhat mysterious how a function relates to the physical substrate in a particular artifact. Given this state of affairs, the general aim of the research program is to develop a coherent conceptual framework for describing technical artifacts, which takes due account of their dual nature.
