“... his vagarious development, and the best study so far is a joint effort by two Berkeley scholars, Hubert Dreyfus, a philosopher, and Paul Rabinow, an anthropologist.

“... the chapter on ‘The Background’ one can glimpse the argument offered by Searle’s colleague Hubert Dreyfus (in his What computers can’t do).
