Abstract (en)
Author uses physiological, psychological and clinical examples to place the aesthetic problem of architecture within an ethical context. Drawing on a clinical report and an experiment in perception, he argues that perception consists largely of invention on the part of the perceiver. He disputes the possibility of an objective reality, and outlines the opposition between objectivity and ethics and, likewise, between "monologic" and "dialogic." His discussion of the distinction between denotation and connotation leads to conclusions concerning the role of ethics in architecture. Article is an adaptation of a 1975 speech.
