The 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires in Australia demonstrated the brutal and disastrous consequences of changing the technological world without considering linkages with the biophysical, ecological or human worlds. An emerging more-than-human design philosophy encourages designers to consider such interrelations between humans and non-human entities. Yet, the design research community has focused on situated or embodied experiences for designers, rather than developing processes to legitimate the perspectives of non-human entities through participatory design. This paper explores how adopting the `intentional stance', a concept from philosophy, might provide a heuristic for more-than-human participatory design. Through experimentation with the intentional stance in the context of smart lighting systems, the paper demonstrates that the approach has potential for non-human entities from the ecological world, but less so for the biophysical world. The paper concludes by encouraging critique and evolution of the intentional stance, and of other approaches, to legitimate the perspectives of non-human entities in everyday design.

翻译：2019/20年澳大利亚黑色夏季丛林大火表明，在不考虑与技术世界相连的生物物理、生态或人类世界的情况下改变技术世界，会带来残酷且灾难性的后果。新兴的超越人类设计理念鼓励设计师考虑人类与非人类实体之间的此类相互关联。然而，设计研究界一直侧重于设计师的情境化或具身体验，而非通过参与式设计来发展使非人类实体视角正当化的过程。本文探讨了采用哲学中的"意向性立场"这一概念，如何为超越人类参与式设计提供一种启发式方法。通过在智能照明系统背景下对意向性立场进行实验，本文表明，该方法对来自生态世界的非人类实体具有潜力，但对生物物理世界的非人类实体则效果有限。本文最后鼓励对意向性立场以及其他方法进行批评与演进，以使非人类实体的视角在日常设计中获得正当性。
