The marriage of design & philosophy #3

3rd and final round of this series of discussions.

Themes for exploration:
How can we link back design practice and philosophy?
What are the possible pain points of doing so? And what are the benefits of such a marriage?

This session:
We will focus on two aspects, first the importance of coming to a form of pragmatism, which one might call "pragmatic design philosophy", and second the (equal) importance of connecting to a form of abstractive and poetic conceptualisation, which one might call creativity. The goal of this session is to explore this useful tension that underly many aspects of the design practice.
