Jane Austen's fiction is itself philosophy, a fact to which Stanley
Cavell attested when he honored his philosophical teacher, J. L.
Austin, through homage to her and her work. Engaging equally in
criticism and in philosophy, Jane Austen and Other Minds
demonstrates the standing of Austen's fiction as a philosophical
investigation, both in its own right and as a resource to ordinary
language philosophy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Eric Reid Lindstrom addresses a long-standing shortcoming of Austen
scholarship by locating in her fiction a linguistic phenomenology
available to the novelistic everyday but not afforded her in
intellectual history. He simultaneously advances recognition and
understanding of J. L. Austin and Stanley Cavell, and of ordinary
language philosophy, within Austen scholarship and the broader
field of contemporary literary studies. This book argues
compellingly for Cavell's choice of Austen as a means to pursue
'passionate exchange,' reimagining her common association with
restriction and confinement.
