We make things, but we also make arrangements, many of which are long-standing, material, social, normative, economic, institutional, and\/or political, and many of which are supported by various technologies, including AI, more and more. Critical theorists, such as Habermas, have argued that we need a \u201cdepth\u201d or critical hermeneutics (one that combines hermeneutical understanding with scientific explanation) to provide a full account of this kind of recursivity. For Habermas, the explanatory aspect of critical hermeneutics has been modeled on neo-Marxist and neo-Freudian theories. We propose a new critical hermeneutical approach that uses the tools of embodied cognitive science, affordance theory, material engagement theory, and the concept of the socially extended mind.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00146-020-00987-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]],"date-time":"2020-05-18T20:11:26Z","timestamp":1589832686000},"page":"2189-2196","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Institutions and other things: critical hermeneutics, postphenomenology and material engagement theory"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Tailer G.","family":"Ransom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaun","family":"Gallagher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"987_CR1","volume-title":"Dialectic of enlightenment","author":"T Adorno","year":"1947","unstructured":"Adorno T, Horkheimer M (1947) Dialectic of enlightenment.
