Husserlian Intentionality and Everyday Coping

Abstract

In his book "Being-In-the-World" Hubert Dreyfus charges that Husserl's conception of intentionality cannot account for the practice of everyday coping skills, while Heidegger's thought can. Drawing from the third section of "Ideas II" as well as other of Husserl's works, I pull together a Husserlian intentional analysis of everyday coping to show that Dreyfus is wrong.
