 Dreyfus, Alfred (1859-1935)
Captain Alfred Dreyfus of the French Army was convicted of treason before a crowd hurling anti-Semitic epithets and on January 5, 1895 publicly demoted and exiled for life to Devil's Island off the coast of South America.
Dreyfus, the son of a wealthy, assimilated Jewish family, had joined the army as an engineer, and became the only Jew on the general staff.
The verdict was again treason, but the sentence reduced to ten years because of "extenuating circumstances." Dreyfus agreed not to appeal, and was eventually pardoned by the president of the republic.

Dreyfus Affair, the controversy involving the French army officer Alfred Dreyfus, who was convicted on a charge of treason in 1894.
In 1894 Dreyfus was found guilty by a court-martial, reduced in rank, and transported to Devil’s Island, where he was to be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Seven years later, in 1906, Dreyfus was fully rehabilitated by a judgment of the Cour de cassation, restored to the army with the rank of major, and decorated with the Legion of Honor.

 France at War - The Dreyfus Case and the French 75
Dreyfus had no links whatsoever with an intercepted "list" or "bordereau", of French military documents which was later to be addressed to the German military attaché in Paris, Colonel Maximilian Von Schwartzkoppen, in the fall of 1894.
Captain Dreyfus' Alsatian connection, artillery training and the lame charge that the handwriting on the "bordereau" -- although interpreted at the time as probably disguised -- was likely to be his, led to his arrest.
Alfred Dreyfus was rushed to judgment and unjustly condemned because War Minister General Mercier had believed the falsehoods concocted by Sandherr and Henry, and because some of the graphology experts had inaccurately concluded that the author of the "borderau" was Captain Dreyfus.

 John Rothfork: Review of Dreyfus's On the Internet
Dreyfus sums up the pragmatist view by suggesting that "there can be no understanding of relevance [of what is important or even what constitutes a human situation or problem] without commonsense understanding, and no commonsense understanding without a sense of how the world meshes with our embodiment" (25).
Dreyfus relies too much on his own experience to imply that elite universities offer true education, while thousands of lesser schools throughout America offer mere training and competency— training which is, if possible, being further degraded by the shift to Web classes.
I do not suggest that Dreyfus’ sense of education necessarily parallels this unconditional commitment, but the model of education that his students and classes provide is far removed from the kind of students I taught or from the tens of thousands in community college classrooms throughout America.

 Alfred Dreyfus and “The Affair”
Dreyfus came under suspicion, probably because he was a Jew and also because he had access to the type of information that had been supplied to the German agent.
The army authorities declared that Dreyfus’ handwriting was similar to that on the papers.
In September 1899, the president of France pardoned Dreyfus, thereby making it possible for him to return to Paris, but he had to wait until 1906 — twelve years after the case had begun — to be exonerated of the charges, after which he was restored to his former military rank.

 First, it is necessary to draw distinctions between the two periods of the Dreyfus Affair
On September 19, Dreyfus was pardoned by the President, and Waldeck-Rousseau, on November 17, introduced a general amnesty bill to the Chamber of Deputies.
Dreyfus certainly never spoke of how disquieting such sentiment was, and he, for the most part, ignored it.
Dreyfus, with his gifted military capabilities thought that they would best serve him in terms of upward mobility, and when he would eventually be arrested for treason, this lack of sympathy among his superiors would most definitely cost him.

 Dreyfus Affair. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Dreyfus protested his innocence, but public opinion generally applauded the conviction, and interest in the case lapsed.
Nonetheless, a pardon was issued by President Émile Loubet, and in 1906 the supreme court of appeals exonerated Dreyfus, who was reinstated as a major and decorated with the Legion of Honor.
The immediate result of the Dreyfus Affair was to unite and bring to power the French political left wing.

 DREYFUS CASE - Professor Wilkes - University of Georgia School of Law
Dreyfus arrived at army headquarters on time that memorable morning.  When he entered, he was immediately arrested on a charge of treason for allegedly having delivered military secrets to Germany.  Completely innocent of any crime, Dreyfus protested the arrest, but to no avail.  He was hurried off to secret confinement in a military prison.
On September 9, after a month-long retrial at which the prosecution proffered perjury and false evidence, Dreyfus was--to the astonishment of the civilized world--again convicted of treason by a military tribunal.  Ten days later--after a  worldwide firestorm of anger, protests, and demonstrations--he was pardoned by the president of France, and released.
The generals and officers who had persecuted Dreyfus were never punished.  Neither was Esterhazy, who was allowed to flee the country and died in exile in England.

 Amazon.com: Being-in-the-World: A Commentary on Heidegger's Being and Time, Division I.: Books: Hubert L. Dreyfus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Dreyfus has for many years lectured on Heidegger's Being and Time in courses at the University of California at Berkeley, and his explanations of that gnomic work have won wide acclaim, which this book shows was justified.
Dreyfus' account shows Heidegger in the middle of the struggle with those who came before him as he attempts to make sense of the question of what a human being is. I strongly recommend this book as a helpmate.
Dreyfus, who teaches at UC Berkeley, reduces Being and Time to a neutral quasi-psychology in which "being-there is doing something it makes sense to do given the public situation, and given already taken-over public for-the-sake-of-whiches." And that's all, folks.

The "Dreyfus Affair" was a political scandal which divided France during the 1890s and early 1900s.
Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a graduate of both the elite École Polytechnique and of École Supérieure de Guerre, was a promising young artillery officer in the French Army.

 America's Dreyfus Affair1
Dreyfus was in a position, or at least almost so, to have been the sender, and he seemed just the right type of quiet, unsociable, stiff, cold, generally disliked person to be capable of the dastardly deed.
The eventual exoneration of Dreyfus, to take a novel approach, might be seen as a sign of the first tiny glimmering of Jewish media power in the West, but they were as yet too weak to have pulled it off without truth, and certain key, brave adherents to truth on their side.

It is important to remember that the Dreyfus Affair began quite accidentally; it was the mood of the nation that served as the tinderbox that lit the conflagration.
Dreyfus, in fact, was almost completely unaware of the Dreyfus Affair as it raged in France, dividing the nation and almost provoking a Civil War and inspiring a military coup d'etat.
Dreyfus the person dropped out, and Dreyfus the innocent victim became a potentially more dangerous threat to the Army than Dreyfus the supposed spy would have been (or Esterhazy the actual spy was).
