organized Empire

were only men. A Greek nature submitted to the protection of the laws of science, and a Frenchman who in 1900 years later showed the existence of substance thinking. Although few have read, most of humanity knows that both are among their most brilliant members. Aristotle introduced
Western logic and tried to convince all speech calling the reason (or 'logos'). Eventually the frustrated human frailties, and he admitted his desire resigned two appeals: the pathos of emotion, and ethos of the character. All three are still standing, but the Logos is the strongest.
Later, René Descartes equated the being and rationality with powerful simplicity. With its "I think, therefore I am" statement without emotion and with impeccable logic, they say, more precise argument conceivable. That strengthened the rule of reason whose power had emerged with the big-bang mental writing the opening of the story. Too many rules
Writing, wrote Antonio Cárdenas Walle, is the essence of science. Thanks to the concepts they catch it all. Every freak of nature. Each object. Each of the meanings that fuel design.
Over the centuries the same reason hypertrophied invaded
knowledge of many disciplines. And today in much of our academy is an obstacle that threatens to devour
expressive design capacity in Colombia. Because logos without intelligence is so abhorrent
as intelligence without emotions.
project is stifling (and even think) among too many rules about how they should design, especially if those providing the fashionable dogma use a terminology mazacote stolen from philosophy, linguistics and other disciplines, as if written poorly learners text cartoons will never be critical reflection.
Many of these laws have been expressed only when called to account for breaking the student. Its design process is limited to making three-dimensional satisfactory explanations as to why teachers are not designed in a way, and if unable to give them or they judge them unacceptable Is declared unworthy to be among the designers!
Outside the university, in the real world, things happen. Even it that certain skills to design, or pretend to, "comply with the financial means. And both theoretical gadget is unnecessary to achieve celebrity.
whole reason
Italian Angelo Mangiarotti, outstanding example of urban planning and design of the twentieth century, praised about the virtues of a club head that was given by a Japanese architect: "It's a simple piece-cut so that two of them extracted natural stem-take an object of the branch with extraordinary intelligence. Respect the material. And art. But above all the theoretical position of the object in the design. Is unique. This object will never be a work of art just exactly what in essence should be. " Mangiarotti
himself, one of the great sound of Italian design, the 'exile' in 1989 in Japan and found "Mangiarotti and Associates" based in Tokyo, seems to recognize how hard to design out of the culture in which a born expected to do. Good to know, to evaluate human activity, theories, prisoners of time and space, often reflect the disparate ideologies within which they took shape. Especially if
contemporary thinkers, in which teachers are a subspecies, we exist only in our heads and have rightly demanded. Rarely allow contributions of the "outer space." Our mother, the daughter of Descartes, modernity is the brain we infected with the virus of selfishness.
affirm that culture produces the object, which generates the design and forget that both the object and design, culture generated in a scenario where our intellectual isolation contributes to the crisis of certainty.
A curious paradox
If we send the words of this essay to a search engine like Google or Yahoo, or join by hyperlink to other pages, will find thousands of web sites that explain each of them in countless ways. All true and all false as relative realities.
Where is the reason?
By changing the print to the virtual we left the haven of sanity. Humanity is setting up a network and live with it thousands of years. Knowledge, we are designers or not, lies outside us overwhelmingly. Has begun to crumble organized empire built by the lackeys of the modern. Congratulations, for the hypothetical accuracy was useless to relieve the man. Descartes himself agreed, saying: "A joy illusion is often more worthy than the genuine pain."
When the word in a systematic way separated from the natural world to speak of objects, used logic as a tool. But by a curious paradox when logic computer networking was right mad. We have to investigate the possibilities of the Internet, one click is one hundred cultures and design elements they provide. Although the archaic kingdoms how to design follow the conventional way, most of the objects of the future will be designed by electronic scanning of the universal sources. However
in space and cyberspace, the reason the real discursive logos will remain simple. Simple. Lacking emotions, such as Descartes postulated's definition Mangiarotti Japanese head.
speeches there will no longer far-fetched claim owned by the logic driving while his emotional makeup pedantry. That will be tomorrow. Today there are still too many authors with an amplitude inversely proportional argument setting forth the truth. My dissertation is as flawed as theirs. The difference is that I accept.
Anyway, Aristotle and Descartes were men. Only men. Perhaps the most outstanding
having existido.Y perhaps the most misunderstood.
