Harold & List
There is no such thing as a "design discipline" - we are in the unique
position of "not-owning" a groundless field of knowledge (Wolfgang
Jonas) = which potentially means we can - if only temporarily and for a
specific project - have access to any other discipline (or more
accurately, a basket of disciplines).
We have no discipline in the old-fashioned sense since "we" do not exist
without the other - in design's case without the social structuration
that is constantly changing ... try to pin that down!
The closest to a "disciline" we should come is that of the bricoleur -
we are / should be craftsmen using everything that is at & to hand.

PS: both Maritain aand Gadamer were against foundationalism / method in
the sense of "restriction" = this is what Bruno Latour would call letti
