I loved his lecture series on Heidegger&#x27;s &quot;Being and Time&quot;. It helped me finally understand what continental philosophy was all about. I first heard it on iTunes U but it&#x27;s also on archive.org:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;Philosophy_185_Fall_2007_UC_Berkeley" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;Philosophy_185_Fall_2007_UC_Berk...</a>

Dreyfus was my favorite Berkeley professor, and taught my favorite undergrad course, <i>Existentialism in Literature and Film</i>, in which he introduced me to Kierkegaard, Camus, Marguerite Duras&#x27;s <i>Hiroshima mon amour</i>, and Graham Greene&#x27;s <i>The Third Man</i>. 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.

&gt;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.”<p>Them&#x27;s fighting words!
