What is the true purpose of the design profession? What ends should
professional designers pursue? Firmly rooted in the design
practice, this lively and accessible book offers a critical vision
that enables designers and students of design of all disciplines to
reflect on the purpose of their profession. This book makes the
case that professional designers should contribute to the promotion
of others' well-being by designing a world in which people can
flourish. Using many examples, it helps practitioners and students
to analyse the ethics of the work they are asked to do, and guides
them in designing material and immaterial artefacts that are
conducive to human flourishing. The book also empowers them to
discover and analyse the possible moral consequences of their
designs, and to act thereupon. If design is, as Herbert Simon
argued, 'concerned with how things ought to be', the influence
designers have over the lives of others should not to be taken
lightly. The book's timely and original perspective on professional
design makes it a required reading for practitioners and students
of design, and design scholars.
