Date: Thu, 04 Jun 1998 09:17:31 -0700 From: RTG <guevara-AT-rain.org> Subject: WhatAboutDreyfus? sorry stuart...i'd not seen your follow-up post. >It seems to me that Dreyfus wants to read H as a Californian pragmatist, to >use him in debates about the philosophy of mind and especially to critique >the AI model. I am not the right person to elaborate this at length as my >research interests in H are quite a way from the philosophy of mind. As >before, the best critiques I have seen are in Inquiry, notably Frederick >Olafson, 'H a la Wittgenstein, or "Coping" with Professor Dreyfus' and a >reply by Taylor Carman (both in Vol 37) and Carleton B. Christensen, >'Getting H Off the West Coast' (Vol 41). from what i've seen so far i don't get that dreyfus is talking philosophy of mind. are you suggesting that dreyfus does so? and if so, what is philosophy of mind as you speak of it? also - can you say more about "getting H off the west coast" and "california pragmatists." >Dreyfus gave a paper on Heidegger at a recent conference at the University >of Essex, and some of the responses were similarly critical. in the way you touch on above? thanks in advance stuart.... >On a more >positive note I am indebted to Dreyfus for providing me with a way into >Heidegger and for his work on the links between H and Foucault - which is >essentially the topic of my (nearly completed) PhD. Dreyfus has a much >promised but oft-postponed book on this relation in the pipeline - though >having spoken to him fairly recently a second edition of Being-in-the-World >is due first. > >I'd agree with the earlier mail by Henk. Kisiel is the best work on B&T but >my guess is it would leave the beginner rather confused. Dreyfus or Stephen >Mulhall's Routledge guidebook would be my recommendations to those seeking a >way in.
