Phenomenology and the Philosophy of Technology – Technology as Phenomenon, skillfully edited by Bas de Boer and Jochem Zwier, dares to challenge entrenched assumptions, deconstruct prevailing concepts, and reassess established approaches, perhaps even heralding a necessary shift in our understanding of technologies intricate relationship with humanity. This seminal work offers invaluable insights that resonate deeply in our increasingly technologically mediated existence.
