- Title
Postphenomenological Re-embodiment.
- Authors
Ihde, Don
- Abstract
The phenomenological tradition has had a long interest in embodiment, and bodily experience beyond the confines of the 'skinbag' body. Here I respond to Helena De Preester's analysis of different types of protheses: limb, perceptual, cognitive. In her paper 'Technology and the body: the (im)possibilities of re-embodiment', she wants to make finer distinctions between extensions and incorporations. Today's hi-tech developments make this refinement necessary and possible. I respond to the three levels or types of prostheses taking note of the increasing difficulty at each level and express certain worries about cognitively framed notions of bodily experience.
