设计和科学

武夷山

Design Studies杂志2012年第5期发表澳大利亚新卡斯特尔大学人文与社会科学学院Robert Farrell和Cliff Hooker合写的文章，The Simon-Kroes model of technicalartifacts and the distinction between science and design（关于技术人工物的西蒙-克罗斯模型，及科学与设计的区分）。文章说：

赫伯特 A. 西蒙提倡将设计（即人工科学）与自然科学区分开。

科学和设计在原理上不是截然二分的，当我们考察智能的性质的时候，会更深地体会到这一点。并不存在与“科学智能”对立的“设计智能”；反之，设计和科学都是人类从事智力行动之一般能力的表现。

文章摘要如下：

There is along tradition of arguing that design and science are importantly different. One such argument is that the separation ofscience and design is an implicationthat can be drawn from the Simon-

Kroes modelof the nature of technical artifacts. This paper argues that the Simon-Kroesmodel does not imply a radical separation between science and design: if weaccept the Simon-Kroes model of the nature of technical artifacts and their production, thenwe must also accept that all the sciences also produce technical artifacts, andin importantly similar ways. Moreover, the placing of both scienceand design in a naturalist framework reinforces this conclusion and opensup new vistas for synergetic cross-disciplinary discussion of design andmethodology.
