"This collection of Don Ihde's work is long overdue. Robert Rosenberger's thoughtful curation allows readers to follow the development of Ihde's thought over some five decades, to understand how he built his project on the insights of both traditional phenomenology and pragmatism, and to appreciate what his criticisms of previous philosophers' work on technology (such as Heidegger's) often reveal." — Larry A. Hickman, author of Philosophical Tools for Technological Culture: Putting Pragmatism to Work
