Heidegger's technologies is a versatile and refreshing critique of Heidegger's views on technology. The book embodies a fascinating discussion between two of the most prominent voices in philosophy of technology- one from the past, the other from the present. Without any doubt, Don Ihde's compelling and often ironic reflections will inspire new directions in philosophy of technology. -- -Peter-Paul Verbeek Twente University This book is a very good introductory text on Heidegger's philosophy of technology, and I would say also of Heidegger's thought in general. -Minds & Machines Don Ihde is one of the most influential philosophers of the last quarter of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, and the essays collected here contain some of his best, and adequately reflect his dependence on, but also his developments away from Heidegger. The book is thus likely to find the wide audience it deserves. -- -Paul Durbin University of Delaware

The book manages to be clear enough that it could be used in an advanced undergraduate class, but substantial and provocative enough to be useful for graduate students of researchers in the field. --Choice... an interesting book that aims to free philosophers to confront the reality of the technological problem. --Andrew Feenberg, Technology and Culture This book is a very good introductory text on Heidegger's philosophy of technology, and I would say also of Heidegger's thought in general. -Minds & Machines
