Dear Rosan and Terry, and all:
About Design of Design, it seems to me also that it does not imply
necessarily a Philosophical endeavour. It looks more like an Ethical or
Political standing point. I would say that ,when you are proposing "Design
of Design" in the way you did, Rosan, you are being a Designist, in the
sense that you believe that even design should be designed! In the same
sense that Humanists thought that they should promote the Humanization of
Humanity (and dentists believe on the denting of dents).
So, we have Designism which is something to play with!
Gosh, I believe Im also a Designist! All that stuff about predesign and
all...
At least I have a profession. I can go out in the street and say : "You know
sir, I'm a Designist."
"You mean you are a designer, sir!"
"No, I work in a University. I do not design. I avocate Design (even of
design)! And...I'm not a scholar or a schooler, I have a purpose in life"
Or hide in a basement with other designists and write a maniphest of
Designism.
Well Clive, is this intelectually stimulating or what?
I'm not joking!
I hereby state that I will use the powers within my range to start an
intelectual movment called Designism or Radical Designism and a
correspondent Journal "The Radical Designist".
My best regards,
I will, now put my barret on and resume to other demanding tasks,
Eduardo
(comandante)

Dear Terry
what you say is true. but that is the circular nature of, might i say,
design or inquiry?
we always begin with assumptions. from assumption, we elaborate on.
should we remind ourselves of Gödel?
best, rosan
