Postphenomenology is the first book devoted exclusively to the interpretation and advancement of prominent phenomenologist Don Ihde s landmark contributions to history, philosophy, sociology, science, sound studies, and technology studies. Ihde has made a direct and lasting impact on the study of technological experience across the disciplines and acquired an international following of diverse scholars along the way, many of whom contribute to Postphenomenology, including Albert Borgmann, who characterizes Ihde as being among the most interesting and provocative contemporary American philosophers. The contributors situate, assess, and apply Ihde s philosophy with respect to the primary themes that his oeuvre emphasizes. They not only clarify Ihde s work, but also make significant contributions to the philosophy of technology, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and the philosophy of science. A comprehensive response from Ihde concludes the volume.´
