Dear Ranjan
following my reply to Christopher, I would like to add that there are
resources in ancient chinese philosophy that are relevant, and make sense to
me, see
"Dewey, Confucius and the hope for Democracy in China", David Hall and Roger
Ames 1999. Open Court, Chicago and Lasalle, Illinios.
"John Dewey, Confucius and Global Philosophy", Joseph Grange. 2004. State
University of New York Press, Albany.
I believe that Tony Fry has suggested the same before in his book" A new
philosophy of design: An introduction to defuturing".
