Demonstrates the practice of phenomenology through visual illusions and ambiguous drawings.
Expanded new edition of the landmark book demonstrating the practice of phenomenology through visual illusions and ambiguous drawings
Since the initial publication of Experimental Phenomenology in 1977, Don Ihde's groundbreaking career has developed from his contributions to the philosophy of technology and technoscience to his own postphenomenology. This new and expanded edition of Experimental Phenomenology resituates the text in the succeeding currents of Ihde's work with a new preface and two new sections, one devoted to pragmatism and phenomenology and the other to technologies and material culture. Now, in the case of tools, instruments, and media, Ihde's active and experimental style of phenomenology is taken into cyberspace, science and media technologies, computer games, display screens, and more.
"…Don Ihde's book has the character of a primer for engaging phenomenology—for doing phenomenology as he emphasizes at the beginning of his book … For what it seeks to do, the book is provocative and engaging … the phenomenologist should read it and draw from it what she or he can." — Journal of Phenomenological Psychology
"In a new preface Idhe reflects on the bulk of his work, identifying its impact on other disciplines. This helps strengthen the new chapters, which elaborate the contact between phenomenology and technologies of film, simulation, video games, science imaging, and bows … It can serve as a very clear way into phenomenology for those in other fields, and also as a move toward broadening the applications of phenomenological theory." — CHOICE
Praise for the First Edition
"…the unencumbered style of the book and prolific use of concrete examples makes the content accessible both to the beginning student of philosophy and to the intelligent layman." — Review of Metaphysics
