Explicit values can't organise a field of experience

Human interest organises a field of experience  that can't be captured by explicit goals and values.

Hubert Dreyfus, 1972.
  • Specific goals must be checked at preset intervals, but human concerns pervade experience.
  • When concerns are made explicit they lose their pervasive character.
  • Human needs ony become explicit after they have been fulfilled.
