Stanley Cavell and Literary Studies

Arguably no other living philosopher has done as much as Stanley Cavell to show the common cause shared by literature and philosophy. <i>Stanley Cavell and Literary Studies</i> 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 naïveté Cavell's writings and ideas will only become more pertinent.
