Throughout his career, he articulated the belief that words spring to life in concrete circumstances of speech: the significance and power of language depend on the occasions that elicit it. When Cavell died in 2018, he left behind some of his own most powerful language--a plan for a book collecting numerous unpublished essays and lectures, as well as papers printed in niche journals. \u003ci\u003eHere and There\u003c\/i\u003e presents this manuscript, with thematically relevant additions, for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese writings, composed between the 1980s and the 2000s, reflect Cavell's expansive interests and distinctive philosophical method. The collection traverses all the major themes of his immense body of work: modernity, psychoanalysis, the human voice, moral perfectionism, tragedy, skepticism. Cavell's rich and cohesive philosophical vision unites his wide-ranging engagement with poets, critics, psychoanalysts, social scientists, and fellow philosophers. In \u003ci\u003eHere and There\u003c\/i\u003e, readers will find dialogues with Shakespeare, Thoreau, Wittgenstein, Freud, Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, Wallace Stevens, Veena Das, and Peter Kivy, among others. One of the collection's most striking features is an ensemble of five pieces on music, constituting Cavell's first discussion of the subject since the mid-1960s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited by philosophers who have been invested in Cavell's work for decades, \u003ci\u003eHere and There\u003c\/i\u003e not only gathers the strands of a writing life but also maps its author's intellectual journeys. In these works, Cavell models what it looks like to examine seriously one's own passions and to forge new communities through unexpected conversations.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.3 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 26, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766929326368,"sku":"9780674270480","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4e137fff3e7d6bc639b9550a22b3316f.webp?v=1780301144","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/here-and-there-sites-of-philosophy-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
