good post
this is why i emphasis the role of discourse in design. it is our way of
talking that gets things done and conducive vocabularies are the essence of
any profession

Subject: Re: Inquiry into Consequences... looking to Peirce
Hi List Members (y un saludo especial para Alejandra)
The ways in which Rorty's sense of shanging vocabularies and judging the
consequences can be seen in his style of writing and in the later
Wittgenstein. Using their own writing as examples they both changed the form
of conversation and, in Rorty's case, suggested that looking at other
vocabularies for doing social reality or science or politics, like that of
Nabokov, Orwell (not so much), Derrida, etc., might just get us somewhere
(thus consequences) more useful for our purposes than continuing with the
same way of talking. Now, of course there are all sorts of way so f applying
such thinking to a range of fields - health, education, design (maybe) and
there is a certain surface appeal in the notion of design and a new
vocabulary I suppose. Anyway.
