Reviews""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, 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 likelyto find the wide audience it deserves., 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 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 likelyto find the wide audience it deserves.-Paul Durbin "As is typical of Ihde's writings, the prose is clear and crisp as he discusses fairly sophisticated ideas without lapsing into jargon or vagueness. 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, Heidegger's technologies is a versatile and refreshing critique of Heidegger's views on technology.

SynopsisHeidegger is the only thinker of his generation whose philosophy of technology is still widely read today. In it, he made three basic claims. First, he asserted that the essence of technology is not technological--that technology is not a neutral instrumentality. Second, he claimed that there is a qualitative difference between modern and traditional technologies. Third and most interestingly, he claimed that technology is a metaphysical perspective, a paradigmatic view of the whole of nature. Although Martin Heidegger remains recognized as a founder of the philosophy of technology, in the past sixty years a whole new world of technologies has appeared--bio-, nano-, info-, and imaging. How adequate is Heidegger's thinking now for understanding today's technological advances? After an extensive Introduction that places Heidegger within the thinking about technology typical of his time, the author reexamines Heidegger's positions from multiple perspectives--historical, pragmatic, anti-Romantic, and postphenomenological. His critiques invert Heidegger's essentialism and phenomenologically analyze Heidegger's favored and disfavored technologies. In conclusion, he undertakes a concrete analysis of the technologies Heidegger used to produce his writing and discovers heretofore undiscussed and ironic results., Heidegger is the only thinker of his generation whose philosophy of technology is still widely read today.
