Hello everybody
As a "companion - strongly - supporting" Bitiz Afflalo's suggestion below,
here is a translation of a pointer by the French Philosopher, Edgar Morin,
towards what, in my humble opinion, should be a Science of Design (perhaps
a complement to H. A. Simon's "Science of the Artificial" ???):
http://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0610049v1.pdf
What if the various aspects, both theoretical, practical, as well as
clinical, of this new Science were the only concern of all those enrolled
in PhD - Design programs?
