In this essay, we further develop the conceptand claim that Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological commitments, although suggestive, did not lead him to appreciate the epistemological value of materiality. We also take steps towards establishing how an understanding of this topic can provide the basis for reinterpreting the history of phenomenology. > [!Paraules_Clau]- > Keywords:: > [!autors]- > Autors:: Don Ihde, Evan Selinger > [!meta]- > url:: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10746-004-3342-4 > doi:: > isbn:: > [!relacionat]- > [!hipòtesi]- > Hipòtesi:: > [!metodologia]- > Metodologia:: > [!resultats]- Resultats > Resultats:: > [!resum]- Resum dels punts importants > Resum:: ## Notes | <mark class="hltr-grey">Codi Color</mark> | Significat | | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------- | | <mark class="hltr-red">Vermell</mark> | Desacord amb l'Autor | | <mark class="hltr-yellow">Groc</mark> | Punt Interesant | | <mark class="hltr-green">Verd</mark> | Important per la tesi | - <mark class="hltr-yellow">"One of us coined the notion of an “epistemology engine.”1 The idea is that some particular technology in its workings and use is seen suggestively as a metaphor for the human subject and often for the production of knowledge itself.”</mark> [Page 1](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/AT5Z7D5E?page=1&annotation=7HMIDJ3B) - Definició d'Epistemology engine - <mark class="hltr-yellow">"An “epistemology engine” is a technology or a set of technologies that through use frequently become explicit models for describing how knowledge is produced.”</mark> [Page 2](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/AT5Z7D5E?page=2&annotation=6DA8AZLM) - <mark class="hltr-yellow">"The digital computer is currently functioning as an “epistemology engine” for many, and as a result, possibly even endangering our appreciation for the intuitive basis of expertise”</mark> [Page 2](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/AT5Z7D5E?page=2&annotation=I4IW3SBF) - <mark class="hltr-yellow">"But, as the camera model shows, the reason this is really possible is because the ideal observer can simultaneously see both inside and outside the box.

The related and limited points here, however, are to show how the camera is indeed the model, which both poses and generates the outlines of early modern epistemology, and thus is the engine through which knowledge production is understood. Knowledge production is modeled upon a specific technology and both its strengths and problems relate to the limitations of that specific model.”</mark> [Page 6](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/AT5Z7D5E?page=6&annotation=JQVSJ9HG) > [!context]- > Context:: > [!importància]- > Importància::
