2.0 out of 5 stars Sociology not Design., January 8, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Werkbund: Design Theory and Mass Culture before the First World War (Hardcover)
This book will be enjoyed only by those who can cope with dizzyingly complex sentences, like the example from page 62, which contains ALL of the following words: style, hypostatization, heuristic, historical, hernaneutic, discourse, culture,
Heidegger, uncritically, epistemology, ontology, historical, tense. I am interested in the Werkbund and Design, but I can't understand the sentence.
This book belongs to the obfuscatory, "in crowd", "jargon is good (gut!)" school of writing. There is much of interest buried amidst the words.
