implications of design</div> <p><b>Philosophy of design</b> is the study of definitions of <a href="/wiki/Design" title="Design">design</a>, and the assumptions, foundations, and implications of design. The field, which is mostly a sub-discipline of <a href="/wiki/Aesthetics" title="Aesthetics">aesthetics</a>, is defined by an interest in a set of problems, or an interest in central or foundational concerns in design. In addition to these central problems for design as a whole, many philosophers of design consider these problems as they apply to particular disciplines (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Philosophy_of_art" class="mw-redirect" title="Philosophy of art">philosophy of art</a>). </p><p>Although most practitioners are philosophers specialized in aesthetics (i.e., aestheticians), several prominent <a href="/wiki/Designer" title="Designer">designers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Artist" title="Artist">artists</a> have contributed to the field.
