Hubert L. Dreyfus, Philosopher of the Limits of Computers, Dies at 87 (opens in new tab)

I loved his lecture series on Heidegger's "Being and Time". It helped me finally understand what continental philosophy was all about. I first heard it on iTunes U but it's also on archive.org:

Dreyfus was my favorite Berkeley professor, and taught my favorite undergrad course, Existentialism in Literature and Film, in which he introduced me to Kierkegaard, Camus, Marguerite Duras's Hiroshima mon amour, and Graham Greene's The Third Man. His Heidegger class was also great, and there he also introduced us to Maurice Merleau-Ponty. I loved his lectures and he was also a nice guy... a lot nicer and more approachable than his also famous colleague John Searle.

>For his 2006 book “Philosophy: The Latest Answers to the Oldest Questions,” Nicholas Fearn broached the topic of artificial intelligence in an interview with Professor Dreyfus, who told him: “I don’t think about computers anymore. I figure I won and it’s over: They’ve given up.”

Them's fighting words!
