Stanley Cavell and Literary Studies: Consequences of Skepticism

By Bernie Rhie

Arguably no other living philosopher has done as much as Stanley Cavell to show the common cause shared by literature and philosophy. Stanley Cavell and Literary Studies is not only timely but, indeed, long past due. As the discipline of literary studies struggles to move beyond the suspicious skepticisms and anti-humanisms that have dominated the field, but without lapsing into sentimentality and na vet , Cavell's writings and ideas will only become more pertinent.
