Dear All,
Pieter Vermaas and I are happy to announce the release of the edited
volume *Advancements
in the Philosophy of Design* in the new series "Design Research
Foundations" at Springer : https://www.springer.com/fr/book/9783319733012.
With this volume we present 24 contributions to the philosophy of design.
Design is an emerging topic in philosophy and not yet one on which work is
shaped by a common set of questions or by an academically entrenched
discipline of philosophy of design. We therefore consider it an effort in
itself that we can present 24 contributions. A call for contributions on
the topic following a successful conference track on philosophy of design
in the 2015 *11th European Academy of Design Conference* in Paris, France,
produced close to a hundred reactions. The 24 contributions in this volume
grew out of this large response.
Still philosophy of design is at this moment not an entrenched discipline.
The authors of the contributions to this volume are not working within a
common discipline and are not drawing from shared earlier thinking or
shared approaches and methods. Rather authors are originating from a
spectrum of different disciplines, ranging from philosophy to design
research, and from product design to architecture. This makes the current
volume a diverse one presenting work on design from different perspectives,
raising different issues about design, and having different expectations of
what is to be achieved by a philosophy of design. Avoiding the trap to use
our editorial roles for defining what true issues, methods and goals are
for the discipline, we present the 24 contributions primarily in an open
and constitutive way.
If you are there, we will be glad to introduce you to the book during
the DRS2018
Limerick conference.
