"With The Philosophy of Design, Glenn Parsons constructs an elegant bridge between two major islands in the archipelago of human thought: philosophy and design. Bringing existing work �together into a systematic treatment�, Parsons cogently presents the philosophy of design as a load-bearing structure. Through original philosophical explorations of design, including a bold rethinking of design history, he also demonstrates its capacity for carrying traffic."Per Galle, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design"This very readable and illuminating book is a must-have for designers and the students of design."Oxford Journal
