Heidegger, Authenticity, and Modernity

For more than a quarter of a century, Hubert L. Dreyfus has been the leading voice inAmerican philosophy for the continuing relevance of phenomenology, particularly as developed byEdmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Dreyfus has influenced a generation ofstudents and a wide range of colleagues, and these volumes are an excellent representation of theextent and depth of that influence.In keeping with Dreyfus's openness to others' ideas, many of theessays in this volume take the form of arguments with various of his positions. The essays focus onthe dialogue with the continental philosophical tradition, in particular the work of Heidegger, thathas played a foundational role in Dreyfus's thinking. The sections are Philosophy and Authenticity;Modernity, Self, and the World; and Heideggerian Encounters. The book concludes with Dreyfus'sresponses to the essays.Contributors : William D.
