In April 2007, I paid a visit to Professor Hubert Dreyfus at his office in the University of California, Berkeley. He takes the question of meaning of life seriously. You will find his remarks provocative.

Wikipedia reports that "Professor Hubert Dreyfus is a contemporary American philosopher. He is considered one the world's leading analysts of postmodern philosophy from Edmund Husserl to Michel Foucault, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and especially Martin Heidegger. He is the author of "Being-in-the-World: A Commentary on Heidegger's Being and Time, Division 1", arguably the authoritative text on Heidegger's most significant contribution to philosophy...His philosophical inquiries have influenced the thinking of Charles Taylor, John Searle, Charles Guignon, William Blattner, and many others. His critical comments on the existential phenomenology and subsequent dialectical philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre has played a significant role in the demise of Sartre's influence on modern thought."
