Description
The Philosophy of Design by Glenn Parsons offers a fresh perspective on the fundamental philosophical issues raised by contemporary design practice. This book systematically examines design from a philosophical standpoint, covering key areas such as aesthetics, epistemology, and ethics. Parsons explores central issues about the nature of design and its products, including the rationality of design methods and the role of Modernist ideas in addressing these concerns. The book also delves into the social responsibility of designers and the impact of design practice on ethical reasoning. Accessible to students and designers alike, The Philosophy of Design presents a new perspective on design and challenges readers to think critically about the meaning of contemporary design and its unique challenges and possibilities.
