American philosopher Nelson Goodman (1906-1998) was one of the foremost analytical thinkers of the twentieth century, with groundbreaking contributions in the fields of logic, philosophy of science, epistemology, and aesthetics. His main philosophical notions in Ways of Worldmaking (1978) also apply well to architecture. This book is an introduction to the aspects of Goodman's philosophy which have been the most influential among architects and architectural theorists.Goodman specifically discussed architecture in his major work on aesthetics, The Languages of Art: An Approach to a Theory of Symbols (1968), and in two essays "How Buildings Mean" (1985), and "On Capturing Cities" (1991).
