Dear Keith,
When you replied to Chuck:
³Your point about the need to focus on how designers actually think is the
key for me.²
It raised the question for me about what actually happens to such root
metaphors as deduction, induction and abduction when they are subjected to
and influenced by the ³magnetic field² of design thinking. Should we then
expect a bending in their flavor and use?
Enthymemeatically, my hidden premise here is that metaphors evolve and that
we should remember, a la Wittgenstein, to look to their use. Which I think
returns to your main point.
Jerry
