This book investigates the scope and significance of Stanley
Cavell's lifelong and lasting contribution to aesthetic
understanding. Focusing on various strands of the rich body of
Cavell's philosophical work, the authors explore connections
between his wide-ranging writings on literature, music, film,
opera, autobiography, Wittgenstein, and Austin to contemporary
currents in aesthetic thinking. Most centrally, the writings
brought together here from an international team of senior,
mid-career, and emerging scholars, explore the illuminating power
of Cavell's work for our deeper and richer comprehension of the
intricate relations between aesthetic and ethical understanding.
The chapters show what aesthetic understanding consists of, how
such understanding might be articulated in the tradition of Cavell
following Wittgenstein and J. L. Austin, and why this mode of human
understanding is particularly important. At a time of quickening
interest in Cavell and the tradition of which he is a central part
and present-day leading exponent, this book offers insight into the
deepest contributions of a major American philosopher and the
profound role that aesthetic experience can play in the humane
understanding of persons, society, and culture.
