On Turning Away from 'The Empirical Turn' (But not Necessarily Towards the Transcendental)

In my comments, I address two issues that are important but not central to the paper under review here. First, I present a reading of the postphenomenological concept of multistability by going back to Merleau-Ponty's notion of the primacy of perception. I conclude that assertions affirming the multistability of technologies should not be seen as merely empirical. Second, I address the adequacy of using the language of 'empirical' and 'transcendental' as a means to categorize exclusionary approaches in philosophy of technology.
