Stanley Cavell was, by many accounts, America's greatest
philosophical thinker of film. Like Bazin in France and Perkins in
England, Cavell did not just transform the American capacity to
take film as a subject for philosophical criticism; he had to first
invent that legitimacy. Part of that effort involved the creation
of several key now-canonical texts in film studies, among them the
seminal The World Viewed along with Pursuits of Happiness and
Contesting Tears. The present collection offers, for the first time
anywhere, a concerted effort mounted by some of today's most
compelling writers on film to take careful account of Cavell's
legacy. The contributors think anew about what precisely Cavell
contributed, what holds up, what is in need to revision or
updating, and how his writing continues to be of vital significance
and relevance for any contemporary approach to the philosophy of
film.
