Philosophy for Architects is an engaging and easy-to-grasp introduction to philosophical questions of interest to students of architectural theory. Topics include Aristotles theories of "visual imagination" and their relevance to digital design; the problem of optical correction as explored by Plato; Hegels theory of zeitgeist; and Kants examinations of space and aesthetics; among others. Focusing primarily on nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy; it provides students with a wider perspective concerning philosophical problems that come up in contemporary architectural debates.
