Epilogue - """"Theory"""": humanities in the 21st century."ReviewsPostphenomenology is exceptionally well written: written in a clear, straightforward, jargon-free language that is engaging, enjoyable to read, and readily accessible; written in a style, and with a vocabulary, that are subtle enough to satisfy the rigorous standards of philosophically trained scholars, yet also, at the same time, simple enough and broad enough to be appealing to nonphilosophers, scholars in many different disciplines, graduate and undergraduate students, and even a multitude of people entirely outside the academic world. --David Michael Levin, Northwestern University Author InformationDON IHDE is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Stony Brook University, State University of New York.
