Bereits mit seiner Diplomarbeit an der Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm «Über den Zeichen- und Symbolcharakter von Gegenständen» hatte Klaus Krippendorff den Grundstein dafür gelegt, was heute weltweit als der Kern von Design-Theorie angesehen wird. Als Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Forschung legt der Autor in dieser Publikation jetzt die ultimative Summe seiner Erkenntnisse vor. Die Kernaussage lautet: Bedeutung ist wichtiger als Funktion. Design gibt den Dingen Sinn, es macht Dinge verständlich. Es geht dabei um die kontextabhängige Wahrnehmung, Erfahrung und Interpretation von Produkten durch den Benutzer. Krippendorff entwirft den Methodenapparat, um diese Phänomene angemessen wissenschaftlich erfassen und beschreiben zu können. Klaus Krippendorff ist Professor an der Annenberg School for Communication der University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, USA. Zur Vorgeschichte des Buches klicken Sie hier.

The history of design arguments stretches back to before Aquinas, who claimed that things which lack intelligence nevertheless act for an end to achieve the best result. Although science has advanced to discredit this claim, it remains true that many biological systems display remarkable adaptations of means to ends. Versions of design arguments have persisted over the centuries and have culminated in theories that propose an intelligent designer of the universe. This volume is the only comprehensive survey of 2,000 years of debate, drawing on both historical and modern literature to identify, clarify and assess critically the many forms of design argument for the existence of God. It provides a neutral, informative account of the topic from antiquity to Darwin, and includes concise primers on probability and cosmology. It will be of great value to upper-level undergraduates and graduates in philosophy of religion, theology, and philosophy of science.
