Abstract
Philosophy of design can draw on insights from other fields of philosophy, like ancient Greek and Chinese philosophy. Ancient philosophies offer a new insight to a more general philosophy of design that can be put to use in contemporary design practice, leading us toward improved design methods for the creation of a more ethical society. The Chinese concept of “Effortless Action”, based on finding the real needs and avoiding the struggle to produce what is not necessary, appears to be a surprising fit for our contemporary society in search for answers to the problems created by the lack of sustainability in our production and consumption models and methods.
