博客來How do designers navigate the ethical discursive territories of design thinking and practice when the same common terms they consistently use across the different design ethics paradigms--like fair, right, good--convey different meanings? Delving into the dynamic and adaptable nature of ethical language and terminology in design, The Adaptive Nature of Design Ethics Discourse argues that it is intrinsically flexible--what can be described as chameleonic. Engaging in a meta-ethical investigation, this book elucidates the interconnections of key terms of design ethics discourse and explores the way in which different frameworks of design ethics both diverge and intersect.
The book challenges existing perspectives on ethical discourse in design by highlighting the complexities of such discourse and the tensions that emerge when universal language encounters various ethical views. By shedding light on these tensions, The Adaptive Nature of Design Ethics Discourse provides alternative ways to apprehend the ethical sense of responsibility of designers as well as a foundation for rethinking the discursive fabric of design ethics practice.
This pivotal work is intended for researchers, educators, students, and practitioners across all design disciplines, including, among others, architecture, engineering, product design, systems design, and urban planning.
