This article draws an alignment between John Dewey's Pragmatism and design inquiry or, particularly, research which incorporates design practice. Three core components of Dewey's philosophy are described—namely, his theory of inquiry, his theory of communication, and his metaphysics—all of which are seen to interlink to form a unique approach to knowledge. From this, a number of key features of the approach are set out. When held in combination, it is argued that these features hold the potential to enrich the epistemological basis of design inquiry.

经验中的实验：通过设计和约翰杜威的实用主义实现研究的一致性

本文将 John Dewey 的实用主义与设计探究，尤其是结合设计实践的研究结合起来。描述了杜威哲学的三个核心组成部分——即他的探究理论、他的交流理论和他的形而上学——所有这些都被视为相互关联，形成了一种独特的知识方法。由此，阐述了该方法的一些关键特征。当结合使用时，有人认为这些特征具有丰富设计探究的认识论基础的潜力。
