Henry

(For information, the other time was on the Foucault list). Well, I think
this has been aired on the list before. Dreyfus' interpretation of Heidegger
is very important, interesting, etc. BUT, it is not the sort of introduction
to Heidegger that (say) Mulhall provides. It is something that purports to
be an introduction, but is far more an interpretation. I know that there are
problems in distinguishing between introduction, interpretation, etc. (and
Heidegger says any translation is necessarily an introduction), but Mulhall
seems a good example of the former, Dreyfus the latter.

So, my point is: if you want an introduction (a leading into, a summary
guide to) use Mulhall, and approach Dreyfus with caution, as his is far more
an interpretation.

Hope this clarifies,

Stuart
