Finding My Way: To Authentic Living

This is a 30-minute conversation on philosophical issues relevant to crafting a truly meaningful life. Dr. Dreyfus is a legendary teacher and scholar, specializing in existential philosophy. As a long-time professor at the University of California at Berkeley, he has taught thousands of undergraduates and graduate students on the nuances of the existential tradition. In this film Dr. Dreyfus discusses aspects of the work of preeminent thinkers such as Aristotle, Plato, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Dostoevsky. In this film we find Dr. Dreyfus and 13yr-old Jeremy discussing a wide range of topics including: * how to avoid being trapped in any one system of thought; * how to become a wise person; * how to live authentically rather than going with the crowd; and * how to maintain respect for the sacred without fundamentalism.
