Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An altogether remarkable work of American philosophy...that occupies the buffer zone between poetry and philosophy in a unique―and perhaps uniquely American way."―Critical Inquiry

"An intensely personal and uniquely provocative book. Stanley Cavell is a philosophical original."―Review of Metaphysics

Reseña del editor:

This reissue of an American philosophical classic includes a new preface by Cavell, in which he discusses the work's reception and influence. The work fosters a fascinating relationship between philosophy and literature both by augmenting his philosophical discussions with examples from literature and by applying philosophical theories to literary texts. Cavell also succeeds in drawing some very important parallels between the British analytic tradition and the continental tradition, by comparing scepticism as understood in Descartes, Hume, and Kant with philosophy of language as practiced by Wittgenstein and Austin.
