Thanks to this month’s sponsor of NUX Newcastle, The Helix.
In this month’s NUX, Ariadne Cass-Maran will join us at the Key at Newcastle Helix.
Why UX needs philosophy
What would Plato think of inclusive design? How would Derrida tell us how to write plain language? Would Barthes be delighted by fan fiction and gleeful about the possibilities of AI? (probably).
Given the relative newness of UX in our culture, it can sometimes feel like we’re out here on our own. However, human-centred design has a rich philosophical heritage. In this talk, Ariadne will do a fun potted history of philosophy, from the heights of Athens to the swamps of Meta.
