An introduction to philosophy for software engineers and architects that will help them understand their design process. This book helps to answer the question “Why are we like this?”.
How do we make decisions as software architects? How do we create the conceptual structures that drive our architectures? Most architects cannot even begin to answer this question. The Architect’s Paradox is an investigation of the underlying philosophical beliefs of software architects. The book compares the journey of ideas in software to the journey in Western philosophy and reveals the default philosophy that most architects aren’t even aware they carry with them. It then asks what we can do that’s different, that moves architect forward beyond traditional thinking.
