Publisher Synopsis
"This new book edited by Norris brings together a collection of papers examining the relationship between Stanley Cavell and political philosophy...an exciting new page in Cavellian studies." -- <I>Philosophy in Review/Comptes Rendus Philosophiques</I> "The very learned essays in this collection do much to illuminate what Cavell gains from his response to Wittgenstein and Austin, and even to such American authors as Emerson and Thoreau, not to mention films and plays." -- <I>CHOICE</I> "How do we cultivate the arts of political judgment, conversation, and civility? Stanley Cavell, for over four decades, has awakened us to this question and helped to compose some answers. In this artful and lively collection, Andrew Norris gathers together a diverse group of writers who continue the fascinating experiments Cavell has launched." -- Jane Bennett * The Johns Hopkins University * "This marvelous collection of essays is the best available examination of the most profound and interdisciplinary American philosopher writing today: Stanley Cavell. It not only probes the complex relation of Cavells work to political philosophy; it also shows that there can be no serious grasp of Cavells thought without acknowledging his deep commitment to the problematic of democratic practice and the Emersonian paideia of we ordinary citizens." -- Cornel West * Princeton University * Read more...
