Stanley Cavell's unique contributions to the study of epistemology,
ethics, aesthetics, film, Shakespeare, and American philosophy have
all received wide acclaim. But there has been relatively little
recognition of the pertinence of Cavell's work to our understanding
of political philosophy. The Claim to Community fills this gap with
essays from a wide range of prominent American, English, French,
and Italian philosophers and political theorists, as well as a
lengthy response to the essays by Cavell himself. The topics
covered include Cavell's understanding of political community,
philosophical anthropology, moral perfectionism, the positivist
distinction between fact and value, political friendship, the
differences between political and aesthetic disagreement, political
romanticism, "the pursuit of happiness," tragedy, and race. There
are also evaluations of the ways Cavell's positions on these and
other matters compare with those of Plato, Aristotle, Montaigne,
Kant, John Stuart Mill, Thoreau, Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, Hannah
Arendt, Carl Schmitt, Peter Winch, Wittgenstein, and Fred Astaire.
This volume will be of great interest to political theorists and
political philosophers, as well as to students of literature and
film.
