Fact and Value
M
yself, as some of you know, originally a mathematician, I spent several
years, in the early sixties, trying to deﬁne a view of design, allied with
science, in which values were also let in by the back door. I too played with
operations research, linear programming, all the fascinating toys, which
mathematics and science have to o
ﬀ
er us, and tried to see how these things
can give us a new view of design, what to design, and how to design.
Finally, however, I recognized that this view is essentially not productive,
and that for mathematical and scientiﬁc reasons, if you like, it was essential
to ﬁnd a theory in which value and fact are one, in which we recognize that
here is a central value, approachable through feeling, and approachable by
loss of self, which is deeply connected to facts, and forms a single indivisible
world picture,
within which productive results can be obtained
.
