@PhilosophicalPsychology@philosophy@phenomenology Spent an hour with that article, too. The promise is that "Affordance frameworks can help us add phenomenological nuance to [various unusual] reports", and maybe assist thinking, e.g., the built environment in a fresh and affectively more helpful way.
The question might be, do they really? The article contains mainly promises. A more general question remains about the specific surplus-value of the arduous affordance-theoretical framework.
