Book Synopsis This New Yet Unapproachable America by : Stanley Cavell
Download or read book This New Yet Unapproachable America written by Stanley Cavell. This book was released on 2013-07-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanley Cavell is a titan of the academic world; his work in aesthetics and philosophy has shaped both fields in the United States over the past forty years. In this brief yet enlightening collection of lectures, Cavell investigates the work of two of his most tried-and-true subjects: Emerson and Wittgenstein. Beginning with an introductory essay that places his own work in a philosophical and historical context, Cavell guides his reader through his thought process when composing and editing his lectures while making larger claims about the influence of institutions on philosophers, and the idea of progress within the discipline of philosophy. In “Declining Decline,” Cavell explains how language modifies human existence, looking specifically at the culture of Wittgenstein’s writings. He draws on Emerson, Thoreau, and many others to make his case that Wittgenstein can indeed be viewed as a “philosopher of culture.” In his final lecture, “Finding as Founding,” Cavell writes in response to Emerson’s “Experience,” and explores the tension between the philosopher and language—that he or she must embrace language as his or her “form of life,” while at the same time surpassing its restrictions. He compares finding new ideas to discovering a previously unknown land in an essay that unabashedly celebrates the power and joy of philosophical thought.

Book Synopsis Stanley Cavell and the Education of Grownups by : Naoko Saito
Download or read book Stanley Cavell and the Education of Grownups written by Naoko Saito. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What could it mean to speak of philosophy as the education of grownups? This book takes Cavell's enigmatic phrase as a provocation to explore the themes of education that run throughout his work-from his response to Wittgenstein, Austin, and ordinary-language philosophy, to his readings of Thoreau and of the moral perfectionism he identifies with Emerson, to his discussions of literature and film. Hilary Putnam has described Cavell as not only one of the most creative thinkers of today but as one of the few contemporary philosophers to explore philosophy as education. Cavell's sustained examination of the nature of philosophy cannot be separated from his preoccupation with what it is to teach and to learn. This is the first book to address theimportance of education in Cavell's work and its essays are framed by two new pieces by Cavell himself.Together these texts combine to show what it means to read Cavell, and simultaneously what it means to read philosophically, in itself a part of our education as grownups.
