Whether furniture, hoardings, websites, clothing, pictograms, cars, or urban spaces: design is omnipresent. Only in philosophy has it up until now not received (almost) any consideration.
Daniel Martin Feige closes this gap by presenting a series of basic concepts that have to do with design, and presents design as an aesthetic praxis with its own rules. According to his thesis, in...
