Hey, thanks for putting up that list, John. See you at the library…

As it turns out the San Francisco Public Library has quite a few books on the lists. Obviously an incomplete intro to Interaction Design without all the discussion that ties these resources together, but maybe helpful for others who like myself are trying to familiarize themselves with what ID is, and what issues Interaction Designers engage with.

As a grad of this program I can also put understanding “Philosophic Semantics and Philosophic Inquiry” on my list of things to do before I die…

Good suggestion, somehow connecting the nodes of the “design knowledge network”. Sounds like a google project! :-)

But actually, that fundamental “all-encompassing” pattern of knowledge conecting such authors (at least their premises, methods, and interpretations) may well have been written already by Buchanan’s mentor at Chicago, R. McKeon, in his short (but maddeningly dense) essay “Philosophic Semantics and Philosophic Inquiry”. One guy has called it the “Rosetta stone” for grasping design issues. It is my life mission to understand it someday…
