Description
The Design Philosophy Reader by Anne-Marie Willis explores the emergence and development of design philosophy as a distinct discipline. This collection of texts examines the key questions that dominate this field, including its potential to transform our approach to design. Featuring eight thematic sections, each accompanied by an introduction and annotated bibliography, the book considers various aspects of design, from social and graphic design to product and industrial design. It presents the writings of influential thinkers and philosophers, such as Deleuze and Heidegger, Aristotle and Plato, offering a diverse range of perspectives on design and its relationship with culture. This comprehensive work is an important contribution to our understanding of design philosophy, providing insights into its potential to fundamentally change the way we think about and practice design.
