First Published in 1984. This book was born out of a disagreement
among friends. Paul Rabinow, attending a seminar given in 1979 by
Hubert Dreyfus and John Searle which concerned, among other things,
Michel Foucault, objected to the characterization of Foucault as a
typical " structuralist." This challenge stirred a discussion that
led to the proposal of a joint article which soon became a
medium-length book.

Internet is een van de eerste boeken waarin het filosofische
inzicht -van Plato tot Kierkegaard - betrokken wordt op het debat
over de mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden van het internet. Dreyfus
laat zien dat de onstoffelijke, 'vrij zwevende' websurfer zijn
oorsprong vindt in Descartes' scheiding van geest en lichaam, en
hoe Kierkegaards inzichten in de opkomst van het moderne
leespubliek vooruitlopen op de nieuwsgierige, maar elk risico
vermijdende internet-junkie. Uitgaande van recente onderzoeken naar
het isolement dat veel internetgebruikers ervaren, toont Dreyfus
aan hoe het internet, door zijn nadruk op prive-ervaringen,
gebruikers berooft van wezenlijke, belichaamde vermogens zoals
vertrouwen, stemmingen en betrokkenheid bij met anderen gedeelde
lokale aangelegenheden. Internet is verplichte kost voor iedereen
die on line is en is geinteressseerd in onze plaats in de
'e-revolutie'.

Can the internet solve the problem of mass education, and bring
human beings to a new level of community? Drawing on a diverse
array of thinkers from Plato to Kierkegaard, On the Internet argues
that there is much in common between the disembodied, free floating
web and Descartes' separation of mind and body. Hubert Dreyfus also
shows how Kierkegaard's insights into the origins of a
media-obsessed public anticipate the web surfer, blogger and chat
room. Drawing on studies of the isolation experienced by many
internet users and the insights of philosopher such as Descartes
and Kierkegaard, Dreyfus shows how the internet's privatisation of
experience ignores essential human capacities such as trust, moods,
risk, shared local concerns and commitment. The second edition
includes a brand new chapter on 'Second Life' and is revised and
updated throughout.

Heidegger's Being and Time: Critical Essays provides a variety of
recent studies of Heidegger's most important work. Twelve prominent
scholars, representing diverse nationalities, generations, and
interpretive approaches deal with general methodological and
ontological questions, particular issues in Heidegger's text, and
the relation between Being and Time and Heidegger's later thought.
All of the essays presented in this volume were never before
available in an English-language anthology. Two of the essays have
never before been published in any language (Dreyfus and Guignon);
three of the essays have never been published in English before
(Grondin, Kisiel, and ThomS), and two of the essays provide
previews of works in progress by major scholars (Dreyfus and
Kisiel).
"Body and World" is the definitive edition of a book that should
now take its place as a major contribution to contemporary
existential phenomenology. Samuel Todes goes beyond Martin
Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty in his description of how
independent physical nature and experience are united in our bodily
action. His account allows him to preserve the authority of
experience while avoiding the tendency toward idealism that
threatens both Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. Todes emphasizes the
complex structure of the human body--front/back asymmetry, the need
to balance in a gravitational field, and so forth--and the role
that structure plays in producing the spatiotemporal field of
experience and in making possible objective knowledge of the
objects in it. He shows that perception involves nonconceptual, but
nonetheless objective forms of judgment. One can think of "Body and
World" as fleshing out Merleau-Ponty's project while presciently
relating it to the current interest in embodiment, not only in
philosophy but also in psychology, linguistics, cognitive science,
artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and anthropology. Todes's
work opens new ways of thinking about problems such as the relation
of perception to thought and the possibility of knowing an
independent reality--problems that have occupied philosophers since
Kant and still concern analytic and continental philosophy.
Argues that human beings are at their best not when they are
engaged in abstract reflection, but when they are intensely
involved in changing the taken-for-granted, everyday practices in
some domain of their culture-that is, when they are making history.
Disclosing New Worlds calls for a recovery of a way of being that
has always characterized human life at its best. The book argues
that human beings are at their best not when they are engaged in
abstract reflection, but when they are intensely involved in
changing the taken-for-granted, everyday practices in some domain
of their culture-that is, when they are making history.
History-making, in this account, refers not to wars and transfers
of political power, but to changes in the way we understand and
deal with ourselves. The authors identify entrepreneurship,
democratic action, and the creation of solidarity as the three
major arenas in which people make history, and they focus on three
prime methods of history-making-reconfiguration,
cross-appropriation, and articulation.
This book, which Foucault himself has judged accurate, is the first
to provide a sustained, coherent analysis of Foucault's work as a
whole.
To demonstrate the sense in which Foucault's work is beyond
structuralism and hermeneutics, the authors unfold a careful,
analytical exposition of his oeuvre. They argue that during the of
Foucault's work became a sustained and largely successful effort to
develop a new method--"interpretative analytics"--capable fo
explaining both the logic of structuralism's claim to be an
objective science and the apparent validity of the hermeneutical
counterclaim that the human sciences can proceed only by
understanding the deepest meaning of the subject and his tradition.
"There are many new secondary sources [on Foucault]. None surpass
the book by Hubert Dreyfus and Paul Rabinow. . . . The American
paperback edition contains Foucault's 'On the Genealogy of Ethics,
' a lucid interview that is now our best source for seeing how he
construed the whole project of the history of sexuality."--David
Hoy, "London Review of Books"
When it was first published in 1972, Hubert Dreyfus's manifesto
on the inherent inability of disembodied machines to mimic higher
mental functions caused an uproar in the artificial intelligence
community. The world has changed since then. Today it is clear that
"good old-fashioned AI," based on the idea of using symbolic
representations to produce general intelligence, is in decline
(although several believers still pursue its pot of gold), and the
focus of the Al community has shifted to more complex models of the
mind. It has also become more common for AI researchers to seek out
and study philosophy. For this edition of his now classic book,
Dreyfus has added a lengthy new introduction outlining these
changes and assessing the paradigms of connectionism and neural
networks that have transformed the field.At a time when researchers
were proposing grand plans for general problem solvers and
automatic translation machines, Dreyfus predicted that they would
fail because their conception of mental functioning was naive, and
he suggested that they would do well to acquaint themselves with
modern philosophical approaches to human beings. What Computers
Can't Do was widely attacked but quietly studied. Dreyfus's
arguments are still provocative and focus our attention once again
on what it is that makes human beings unique.Hubert L. Dreyfus, who
is Professor of Philosophy at the University of California,
Berkeley, is also the author of Being-in-the-World. A Commentary on
Heidegger's Being and Time, Division I.
As this book makes clear, current use of data structures such as
frames, scripts, and stereotypes in psychology, artificial
intelligence, and all the other disciplines now grouped together as
Cognitive Science develop ideas already explored by Husserl who
believed that the analysis of mental representations was the proper
subject of philosophy, psychology, and other disciplines that deal
with the mind.This new anthology will serve as an ideal
introduction to phenomenology for analytic philosophers, both as a
text and as the single most useful source book on Husserl for
cognitive scientists.Hubert L. Dreyfus is Professor of Philosophy
at the University of California at Berkeley. He is author of the
best-selling and controversial book, What Computers Can't Do.
Harrison Hall, who has collaborated with Dreyfus on much of the
book, is on the philsophy faculty at the University of Delaware. An
