Philosophy of design is the study of assumptions,
foundations, and implications of design.
The field is defined by an interest in a set
of problems, or an interest in central or
foundational concerns in design.
In addition to these central problems for
design as a whole, many philosophers of design
consider these problems as they apply to particular
disciplines (e.g. philosophy of art).
Although most practitioners are philosophers,
several prominent designers and artists have
contributed to the field.
For an introduction to the philosophy of design
see the article by Per Galle at the Royal
Danish Academy.
