But what is a chair?

"You shut up", an aquaintance of mine would say when someone threw the question into the room. Apparently she once got into an endless discussion with some friends about this, only cut short by their mutual exhaustion.

"A chair is something you can sit on. Is a rock a chair, then?" or "If you go into an art museum and there are chairs without seating surfaces, are they still chairs?", the questions would go round and round.

"I think I can answer that", I'd said, but she told me "Nope. Nope - nope, I'm not doing that again." and I've been sitting (hah) on my reply ever since. Until now.

(Am I procrastinating with this on something I should actually be doing? You bet I am!)

1. Categorization and You

This may be "duh"-territory, but humans don't just use one method of classification. By that I mean, they don't just use "Yes tomato/No tomato" on everything, but that their systems of classification have different kinds of logic and rules.

So, first question to find out what a chair is: Which system of categorization are we even using?

2. Necessary and Sufficient Requirements

Now, at first you might be tempted to just describe what a chair is:

"A chair is a... structure with four legs, a seating surface and a backrest..."

What about three-legged chairs? What about chairs with armrests?

"A chair is a usually four-legged structure with a seating surface which may or may not come with armrests."

Now we're getting closer! We have understood that some traits are necessary while others aren't. This type of categorization is often used in science. Does this species have a spine? It's a Vertebrate. Does it have scales? It might be a lizard, but not necessarily.

The system of sufficient and necessary categorization rests on the assumption that things can even be neatly categorized into boxes, into either/or, into yes/no. It is also strictly logical.

For the chair, however, this approach spells your doom. Because you cannot escape the necessity to just keep stacking on traits and exceptions to define what a chair truly is:

"A chair is a structure with usually four legs and a backrest, sometimes with armrests and its that has to be high enough for an adult human of... average height(?) to sit on (except if it's a chair for children), or except if it's not, for example as an art piece or a piece of advertisement..."

... but is this a chair, then?

And then you get into discussion into what a chair is made of and you do not want to do that, trust me.

So this approach, generally, doesn't work for things where you can have opinions. And even if it did, it would result in a definition that's way too wordy and just not elegant. But we are onto something with that "average height for a human to sit on"...

3. Lexicography and Conceptual Analysis

What really helps us out here is that a chair is an artefact, by which I mean, it has been made by humans for humans. Thus, is has a function which defines it.

"A chair is a piece of furniture made for a single person to sit on."

- and then you can get into traits and how they support or do not support this function. Armrests or no armrests? Amount of legs? Style? Material? All that probably depends on where and how that chair is supposed to be used in variations of its original function.

And you can use neighboring categories to compare and contrast: "The chair, in contrast to an armchair, is not primarily designed to be relaxed in. The chair, in contrast to the bench, is meant to be used by one person..."

This type of categorization gets to the point quickly and elegantly, while it can still be expanded on. But then why are there still some paragraphs left over on this post?

... (tell me, Will) is this a chair?

What human is supposed to even get on that? And even then, there would obviously more space on it than for just one person. Obviously, this is not a piece of furniture made for sitting on. Yet, ask any person on the street and they would name it "a chair". What gives?

4. Protoype-categorization

Now before we go on, I gotta give a quick shout-out to my man René Magritte, who coined the problem quite nicely with "The treachery of images" - because you could just say that the above is not truly a chair, but a sculpture of a chair.

...buuut, in everyday-life no-one really thinks that way. You don't take a rubber-sword and think "verily, this is not a sword, but a caoutchouc replica!", you think "heehoohoo sord, gotta bonk".

And that's the key-word here: Everyday categorization!

On a day-to-day basis, we generally use prototype-categorization to get around. In contrast to the neat and logical categorization of necessary and sufficient requirements and the elegant but function-focused conceptual analysis, prototype-theory is fast... and superficial.

Protoypes have a kind of wibbly-wobbly field of traits with a nucleus and a soft border, where the traits closer to the nucleus are considered to be more important, traits closer to the border less so:

The (nucleid) typical traits of a chair are: Backrest, four legs, seating surface, you can sit on it. The chair-iest of chairs have these traits. It is the gold-standard for chairs in your mind. The more you deviate from this look, the more un-chairy your chair becomes. Something like "made of wood" is often part of your mental image, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not that important. This categorization neither puts nature/status nor function front and center, but appearance.

If it walks, swims, quacks and looks like a duck, it's a duck, even if it's actually a terminator-style replica of a duck.

This is also how you can explain fun concepts like people calling seals "sea doggo" - it's recognizing that seals do superficially resemble dogs (= share many traits we associate with dog-ness, the nucleus of the protoype-category) while being very aware that from a science perspective, dogs and seals are very far apart.

Every type of categorization has its advantages and disadvantages and it is up to you to recognize which one is the right one for the situation. And sometimes it's just fun to spot where the subconscious switch from one to the other produces confusion :)

5. In conlusion

what is a chair? heck if I know.

Das Beste von Stralsund: Die besten Hotels für einen Winterurlaub - Rooms24

Stralsund ist eine Hansestadt im Nordosten Deutschlands, an der Ostseeküste gelegen. Die Stadt wurde 993 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt und wurde 1248 Mitglied der Hanse. Durch die strategisch günstige Lage und die Mitgliedschaft in der Hanse stieg Stralsunds Wohlstand.

Die Blütezeit der Stadt endete im 14. Jahrhundert, als sie im Lübecker Erbfolgekrieg von den Livländischen Orden geplündert wurde. Die Stadt wurde im Jahr 1628 von Schweden erobert und blieb bis zum Jahr 1815 unter schwedischer Kontrolle, als sie zusammen mit dem Rest von Schwedisch-Pommern an Dänemark abgetreten wurde.

Im Jahr 1815 wurde die Stadt Teil der preußischen Provinz Pommern und wurde von der Provinzialregierung in Stettin (heute Szczecin, Polen) verwaltet. Stralsund blieb bis zum Jahr 1933 Landeshauptstadt, als die Provinz in die größere Provinz Pommern eingegliedert wurde.

Wenn Sie also eine Reise nach Stralsund planen oder einfach nur neugierig auf diese deutsche Stadt sind, dann ist dieser Blogbeitrag genau das Richtige für Sie... Weiterlesen
