About this title

Product Description:

The author has provided a new Preface, in which he discusses the reception and influence of the work, which occupies a niche between philosophy and literary studies.

Review:

"An altogether remarkable work of American philosophy...that occupies the buffer zone between poetry and philosophy in a unique―and perhaps uniquely American way."―Critical Inquiry

"An intensely personal and uniquely provocative book. Stanley Cavell is a philosophical original."―Review of Metaphysics
