Abstract

This article works outwards from John Dewey’s 1920s’ proposals for a reconstruction in philosophy and considers this in direct relation to recent advancements in design research practice. . In doing so, it first explores the current level of design-philosophy engagement and looks to Dewey’s original reconstruction-in-philosophy proposals. Next, it examines the potential of positioning the methodological approach of research through design as a means by which a new design-philosophy horizon-line may be traced. Here, it is suggested that this requires the emergence of a ‘designer philosopher’ – one who design in relation to and with respect for philosophy.
