Reimagining Philosophy and Technology, Reinventing Ihde

The book contains contributions from academics from Europe, North America, and Asia, which demonstrates the global impact of Ihde’s work. Essays in the book

• explore the relationship between Ihde's work and its origins in phenomenology (especially Husserl and Heidegger) and American pragmatism;
• integrate his philosophical work within the embodied experience of radical architecture and imagine the possibility of a future philosophy of technology after postphenomenology;
• develop central ideas of postphenomenology and expand the resources present in postphenomenology to ethics and politics; and
• extend the influence of Ihde's ideas to mobile media and engineering, and comprehensively assess the influence of his work in China.

The book includes a reprint of the Introduction of Sense and Significance, one of Ihde's first books; "Hawk: Predatory Vision," a new chapter that blends his biographical experience with feminism, technoscience, and environmental observation; and an appendix that lists all of Ihde's books as well as secondary sources annotated by Ihde himself.

Starting with an Editors' Introduction that offers an overview of the central ideas in Ihde's corpus and concluding with an index that facilitates research across the various chapters, this book is of interest to a diverse academic community that includes philosophers, STS scholars, anthropologists, historians, and sociologists.
