Thoughtful book on design pedagogy and practice. Unfortunately, for me, the reliance on pragmatists (Dewey and Rorty are frequently cited) means that little attention is paid to any economic, ideological or political arguments. That does not mean those aspects are ignored, but that they are understood solely from a designers perspective. Design thus remains a problem solving discipline rather than a methodology available for particular directives.
