From Within, or the Domain of Design Practice

Claudia Westermann

Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “In Maturana’s Wake: The Biology of Cognition’s Legacy and its Prospects” by Randall Whitaker. Abstract: Engaging with biology of cognition is a form of practice rather than application. In the context of design, biology of cognition can be conceived of as initiating an educational process that supports agents to act “from within” rather than “from without.”
