Jerry,
Congratulations on this beautiful and thoughtful paper. (I still need to read your earlier one.)
As usual, you say everything very well! You put the problem front and center when you wrote:
What seems clearly needed now is a more focused attention on how it is and why it is that situations are significant, what it is that adds up to give them meaning, and the further development of a late modern design thinking partnership that help designers further actualize the underrepresented qualitative dimensions of being in the world.
In my last two papers on Evaluation and Reflection I have tried to formulate how some of these considerations come to bear during design thinking. I can’t seem to find the right way to express the situated human connection as you do so elegantly do, but it is there.
There is also a gap between the different points of view manifested by the seven modes of thought in A Theory of Design Thinking and the feelings involved when considering different situations and circumstances. That may be a bridge too far for me but I need to point the way if I can.
I am about to start my book and have recast the theory into two sections: Section 1 on the concepts and use of the theory, Section 2 on the Designedly mind. It is my attempt to make the theory more useful and understandable. The title at this point is Purposeful Thought, Design Thinking and Creativity, A Designer’s Theory of Mind
I ve attached the tentative table of contents and hope you will give me some guidance regarding it.
Thanks for all (or any) of your thoughts,
Chuck
