Abstract
Continuing his discussion of science and its limitations, philosopher Hubert Dreyfus says that science is good at figuring out facts, like the genetic code or what human beings need in order to survive. Where science falls short, Professor Dreyfus explains, is when it tries to say whether survival is a good thing, or what's worth doing and what's not. Those kinds of issues are more appropriately in the realm of culture, not science, Professor Dreyfus maintains.
