Connecting the Dots
Traditionally, ethics and aesthetics are philosophical disciplines. Tries to find principles to shape action. Aesthetics reflects on perception and beauty. Does that sound familiar? Accidentally, design gives shape and forms action. In his talk, Oliver explores what designers can learn from philosophers, and, reciprocally, what philosophers learn from designers.
