Summary
A question raised will be if the construction of modernity was in conflict with the socialist and capitalist versions of the real as everydayness, or whether the impulse to constant innovation was a way of eviscerating tradition and history and leaving design with a dilemma in regard to its ’response-ability’ given demands of the new as a form of imperative.
After completion of studies in Philosophy and later Sociology and Near Eastern Languages, Pontifical University Maynooth, University College Dublin, Patrick Healy has been engaged in writing, research and teaching, mainly in the area of aesthetics and contemporary art. His recent publications include works on aesthetics, the philosophy of science and artists biographies, including a broad range of other activities associated with his work as Professor of Interdisciplinary research for the Free International University, Amsterdam, appointed 1997. He works as a Senior Researcher and tutor in the Architecture Theory Section, and provides lecture series in aesthetics and the Philosophy of Science.
