The article is a review of a book by Hubert Dreyfus of Berkeley and Sean
Dorrance Kelly of Harvard. Drefus is interesting. I have been auditing a
couple of courses he is teaching at Berkeley via their lecture podcasts.
Relative to this article he just finished Man, God, and Society in Western
Literature, which can be accessed at
http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details_new.php?seriesid=2010-D-67124&semesterid=2010-D
In addition he has taught a course on Heidegger at

These are wonderful public resources.

own meaning.
