" Philosophy through Design creates a bold proposal for designer philosophers who bring design and philosophy together to address existential concerns we are facing today. In his tour de force , Brian Dixon develops this urgently needed character through a study of design, pragmatism, feminism and eco-philosophy." -- Ilpo Koskinen, Professor of Design, University of New South Wales, Australia "An essential read for anyone wanting to activate philosophy and close the gap between design practitioners and academics." -- Danielle Lake, Director of Design Thinking and Associate Professor of Human Service Studies, Elon University, USA "Some design practice has re-oriented to address today's urgent problems, their histories and their futures. But alongside this busy doing, new thinking is needed. This book contributes to that by charting a course for scholarship and practice in philosophy through design." -- Lucy Kimbell, Professor of Contemporary Design Practices, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, UK.
