==Early Thinkers of Interest to Dreyfus==

These classical and medieval authors form the basis of Dreyfus' podcast lectures on the Heideggerian stages of "modes of being" in the western world, or are of general philosophical importance (Pre-Socratics, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine).  He values these other authors (Homer, Aeschylus, St. John, Dante) for their literary "works of art" which hold up an image of the culture to itself.

Homer

Pre-Socratics

Aeschylus

Plato

Aristotle

Vergil

St. John

St. Augustine

Thomas Aquinas (preparatory to Dante)

Troubadors (preparatory to Dante)

Dante

Martin Luther (preparatory to Kierkegaard and Heidegger)


==Thinkers Who Negatively Impress Dreyfus==

These classical and enlightenment philosophers form the primary lineage of a rational synthesis which Heidegger and Dreyfus view as leading philosophy astray.  This does not mean they shouldn't be studied or admired, just that their conclusions have had considerably negative effects on the development of modern thought.

[[Rene Descartes]] 

Immanuel Kant 

Georg Hegel

Edmund Husserl

Jean-Paul Sartre


==Thinkers Who Positively Inspire Dreyfus==

These authors form the root zone of existentialist thought.  Their pioneering move was to explicitly reject rationalism as it was developing in the 19th century - Pascal much earlier.  They all took a definite stance towards the religious or mystical elements of experience, rather than devalidating it.  Nietzsche, and arguably Melville, strongly rejected traditional Christianity in favor of their own unique understandings, while the other three made moves to existentialize and derationalize decidedly Christian themes.
