摘要：I will begin my response to this impressive set of responses and criticisms to my ‘Ihdeology,’ by
expressing my extreme gratitude to Evan Selinger, who conceived of the ‘critical companion’
called Postphenomenology, brought it into being with its list of eminent scholars from a
multiplicity of fields. The contributors from philosophy of technology, philosophy of science,
science studies and other disciplines as diverse as musicology and sociology, are among the most
distinguished authors one can imagine. Since some of them are my former students, a few are
colleagues, but most are peers in the relevant fields, it is with a sense of pride that I feel this
gratitude. Perhaps it is only with someone like Selinger that this result could happen—he is
persistent and productive in his own right. Today he is already one of the most obvious new
visionaries in the philosophy of technology or technoscience studies. Since Postphenomenology,
he has edited (with Jan Kyre-Berg Olesen) Five Questions in the Philosophy of Technology
(2006), this time with 24 scholars who delivered, and the forthcoming New Waves in the
Philosophy of Technology (2008). I could go on listing his earlier and forthcoming works as
well, but –especially since several of the papers urge me to recognize the ‘darker’ sides of things
—I will respond to precisely the darker side of this critical companion.
