Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Listening and Voice is an updated and expanded edition of Don Ihde's groundbreaking 1976 classic in the study of sound. Ranging from the experience of sound through language, music, religion, and silence, clear examples and illustrations take the reader into the important and often overlooked role of the auditory in human life. Ihde's newly added preface, introduction, and chapters extend these sound studies to the technologies of sound, including musical instrumentation, hearing aids, and the new group of scientific technologies which make infra- and ultra-sound available to human experience.

CHOICE Review
In this revised edition of the 1976 book by the same title (CH, Jun'77), Idhe (SUNY-Stony Brook) includes 16 chapters from the original text and 7 new chapters dealing with auditory imagination, phenomenologies of voice, and acoustic technologies. In contrast to the traditional dominance of sight and the visual in philosophy, Idhe presents the "prolegomena to an ontology of listening." This work is primarily guided by the phenomenology of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty (Idhe explicates their positions briefly and accessibly in the first three chapters). The next 13 chapters provide an imaginative application of phenomenological investigation to questions of sound, auditory fields and horizons, music, silence, language, and voice. The seven additional chapters of this new edition fruitfully extend the ontology of the auditory to technology, imagination, and voice through analyses of digital sound and amplification technologies, as well as phenomenologies of voice and listening. This highly accessible work creatively engages phenomenological concepts in application to how one hears, how one listens, and the role of sound in one's experiences. It will appeal to readers in many different disciplines--from philosophy to musicology to psychology and linguistics. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels. J.
