Review Quotes:
"...Ihde's way of thinking first and foremost opens intellectual doors to others." -- Human Studies
"...a thought-provoking contribution to the history of twentieth-century philosophy of science and technology. Amidst all the wealth of new ideas the 'practical turn' has brought to contemporary science and technology studies in terms of reflections on scientific and technological practice, one is reminded here of theoretical offerings that go back to early twentieth-century pragmatic and phenomenological traditions still worth considering. Ihde's lectures testify to this historical turn." -- Metascience
"...high marks. It is one of Ihde's best. This should create an even broader audience for his work." -- Larry Hickman, author of Pragmatism as Post-Postmodernism: Lessons from John Dewey
