As preparation for writing my next book, tentatively titled Enworldment (A Philosophy of Design of Philosophy), I’m indexing the articles I’ve written on approaching philosophy as a design discipline.
Some of the earlier articles have a blunt simplicity to them that I want to recover, at least for the introduction. I’m going to list some of the better articles here for convenient reference. Some of them were hidden or were in draft form, which I’m exposing now for the purpose of showing my thought process, including a recent one I was working on for a months and finally gave up on finishing (Design Pragmatism).
