For fifty years Hubert Dreyfus has addressed an astonishing range
of issues in the fields of phenomenology, existentialism, cognitive
science, and the philosophical study of mind. Dreyfus has inspired
a whole generation of philosophers as he has creatively drawn on
and clearly articulated the seminal works of thinkers like
Kierkegaard, Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and Foucault. This
volume presents a selection of Dreyfus's most influential essays on
mind and action. The book begins with a model of skillful engaged
human action, which informs much of Dreyfus's philosophy, and was
developed in collaboration with Stuart Dreyfus. The volume then
presents articles developing a critique of the representational
model of the mind in analytical philosophy of mind and mainstream
cognitive science. Dreyfus argues that representational models of
mind offer an impoverished and distorting account of human
engagement with the world. The chapters show this by addressing
issues in philosophy of mind and the cognitive sciences through the
skill model.
