Summer Project for Studies of Essence on Practice: Understanding Phenomenology for Creating Pattern Languages
Edmund Husserl proposed the concept of “science of essence,” which is different from “science of matters of fact” like so-called empirical science. With using the concept, studies with creating a pattern language can be called as "Studies of Essence on Practice," because the essences discovered among gool practices are inquired. In this summer project, participants will read important books written by Husserl, understand the thought, and learn to describe it as methodology.
