What Things Do: Philosophical Reflections on Technology, Agency, and Design
Verbeek, Peter-Paul (University of Twente)
Focuses on how technologies mediate our actions and our world perceptions. Peter-Paul Verbeek examines the philosophy of technology formulated by Jaspers and Heidegger, and extends the work of more recent philosophers of technology. He shows how his "postphenomenological" approach applies to the technological practice of industrial designers.
