Hubert "Bert" Dreyfus (1929-2017) was a professor of philosophy at UC Berkeley who specialized in phenomenology, 20th century Continental philosophy, artificial intelligence, Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault, and the aesthetics/literature of existentialism from Dostoevsky and Kierkegaard to Terrence Malick . He is probably most famous for his exposition of Heidegger's early masterpiece "Being and Time" (German: Sein und Zeit ), and for his negative predictions about artificial intelligence. He taught multiple courses through MOOCs from roughly 2006-2012 about Greek philosophy, existentialism in film and literature, Heidegger's opus Being & Time, and the limits of AI. In this course he uses the Fitzgerald poetic translation of the Odyssey with his own amendments and R. Lattimores' meaning-literal translation. He was also extremely kind to me.
