Description
Stanley Cavell's posthumous collection presents his most powerful language, shedding new light on his distinctive vision and intellectual trajectory. For Cavell, philosophy was about responding to others' voices, with words gaining significance in concrete circumstances of speech. This manuscript, composed between the 1980s and the 2000s, reflects Cavell's expansive interests and philosophical method, traversing major themes such as modernity, psychoanalysis, and moral perfectionism. The collection includes dialogues with notable thinkers, including Shakespeare, Wittgenstein, Freud, and Heidegger, among others. Edited by philosophers invested in Cavell's work, Here and There maps the author's intellectual journeys, gathering his writings on a range of subjects, including music, which constitutes one of the collection's most striking features.
