postphenomenology
Postphenomenology is a philosophical approach that examines the relationship between humans and technology. It builds on the ideas of phenomenology, which focuses on human experience, by emphasizing how technological artifacts shape our perceptions and interactions with the world. This perspective highlights that technology is not just a tool but an active participant in our experiences.
This approach was notably developed by Don Ihde, who argued that our understanding of reality is mediated through various technologies. Postphenomenology encourages us to consider how different technologies influence our thoughts, behaviors, and social interactions, ultimately shaping our lived experiences.
