"At its best, [Cavell's] play of thought, his 'wordings of the world' have a music, a stroke of wonder rare in current philosophical argument. Here is a harvest truly of the American grain and prodigality." "At its best, Cavell's play of thought, his 'wordings of the world' have a music, a stroke of wonder rare in current philosophical argument. Here is a harvest truly of the American grain and prodigality." "Joins Cavell's other fine readings of works by the American transcendentalists. . . . The effort to read Cavell will make philosophy have what some have known that literature has always offeredthe hope of experience (thought) at each instant as that instant occurs.
The two essays in this book, first published in 1989, were delivered as two of the 1987 Carpenter Lectures at the University of Chicago. Wittgenstein and Emerson are major influences on and subjects of Cavell's thought, and here he thinks and rethinks of these two intellectual forebears. As the title shows, he finds an important crux for contemplation in Emerson's idea of America.
