摘要

Our growing body of design theory risks being infected by more inconsistency than is justifiable by genuine disagreement among design theorists. Taking my cue from C. S. Peirce, who argued that theory inevitably rests on basic metaphysical assumptions that theorists ought to be critically aware of, I demonstrate how 'insidious inconsistency' may infect design theory if we ignore his admonition. As a possible remedy, I propose a method by which the philosophy of design may develop sound metaphysical foundations ('worldviews') for design theory - and generate philosophical insights into design at the same time. Examples are given of how the first steps of the method may be carried out and a number of candidate worldviews are outlined and briefly discussed. In its own way, each worldview answers certain fundamental questions about the nature of design. These include the ontological question of what the subject matter of design might be; and the epistemological question of how designers can rely on their predictions about the properties of a potentially novel artefact. The purpose of the paper is not to attempt any definitive answers to such questions, but rather to draw critical attention to the metaphysical (pre-empirical) and conceptual foundations of design theory.

Peirce)的观点,他认为理论不可避免地基于理论家应该批判地认识到的基本形而上学的假设,我证明了如果我们忽略了他的劝告,“隐含的不一致”将如何影响设计理论。作为一种可能的补救方法,我提出了一种方法,通过这种方法,设计哲学可以为设计理论发展良好的形而上学基础(“世界观”),并同时产生对设计的哲学见解。给出了如何执行该方法的第一步以及概述和简要讨论许多候选世界视图的示例。每个世界观都以自己的方式回答有关设计性质的某些基本问题。这些问题包括设计主题可能是什么的本体论问题。以及认识论上的问题,即设计师如何才能依靠他们对潜在的新颖人工制品特性的预测。本文的目的不是试图对此类问题做出任何明确的答案,而是要引起人们对设计理论的形而上学(预经验性)和概念基础的关注。
