Hubert Dreyfus has spent his life digging away, asking questions, trying to make sense out of Heidegger, Merleau‐Ponty, and Kierkegaard. He has redefined the subtlety of human skills, battled the artificial intelligence people, and built a community of dedicated former students and fellow applied philosophers who are critiquing the West at its technological roots. He contends that within Heidegger's work are ideas of immense importance for our age.
