About the Author:
"The significance and importance of the topic, and centrality of the topic to a particular field of study, is directly related to Ihde's strong reputation. His work is central to any study of the interface between the human body and technology, and his reputation began with, and still includes, the first edition of this book. He has been important to the field for thirty years and continues to contribute new insights." -- Lenore Langsdorf, coeditor of Recovering Pragmatism's Voice: The Classical Tradition, Rorty, and the Philosophy of Communication
"This book is pathbreaking. It is still the only detailed phenomenology of listening and voice that we have. Philosophy, up until Ihde, was obsessed with visual representation and visual metaphors. Ihde contrasts visual perception with aural experiments, mixing up the examples and talking about pop music and opera in the same analytical voice." -- Trevor Pinch, coauthor of Analog Days: The Invention and Impact of the Moog Synthesizer
Don Ihde is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Stony Brook University, State University of New York. He is the author of many books, including Experimental Phenomenology: An Introduction, also published by SUNY Press, and Bodies in Technology.
