ABSTRACT
In their lengthy and powerful appendix to Dreyfus's Being-in-the-World, Dreyfus and Rubin argue that the "existentialist" portions of Being and Time—those having to do with authenticity, falling, anxiety, death, conscience, guilt, and resoluteness—are an attempt to secularize Kierkegaard's notion of Religiousness A, while also incorporating certain features of his Religiousness B (though without the latter's essential risk or vulnerability). They conclude, however, that, for all its ingenuity, this attempt results in an inconsistent position and is therefore a failure.
