Philosophy of design
Philosophy of design is the study of definitions of design, and the assumptions, foundations, and implications of design. The field, which is mostly a sub-discipline of aesthetics, is defined by an interest in a set of problems, or an interest in central or foundational concerns in design. In addition to these central problems for design as a whole, many philosophers of design consider these problems as they apply to particular disciplines (e.g. philosophy of art). Although most practitioners are philosophers of aesthetics (i.e., aestheticians), several prominent designers and artists have contributed to the field. For an introduction to the philosophy of design see the article by Per Galle[1] at the Royal Danish Academy.

gollark: Again: what terminal streaming implementations are there?
gollark: I assume for a big object you'd just figure out the directions for the corners and figure out whether the click was between them?
gollark: I'll just Google it when I actually need to do it.
gollark: I know roughly what it is, I just have no idea how to implement it.
