I have linked to this page before & I will now do so again.
The DPP archive (click back issues) goes as far back as 2003, the issues addressing numerous viewpoints on design for the contemporary world.
"Design Philosophy Papers (DPP) comes from a longstanding desire to gain greater
recognition for the study of design by the intellectual community at large,
as well as our frustration with the market-driven conservatism of design publishing.
It aims to break away from the idea of design as a specialist interest, as well
as rejecting the simplistic and debased way design arrives before the public
via both old and new media — frequently merely as style or technics. It
also comes with a passion to communicate, share and argue for a much, much greater
general recognition of importance of design and ‘the designed’ as
managed and unwitting agents of force and power."
