Abstract
This profile on Stanley Cavell comprises five sections. The first provides a brief overview of Cavell’s intellectual biography. The second addresses the themes of the ordinary and skepticism, concentrating on Cavell’s engagement with Wittgenstein, Austin, Freud, and Heidegger. The third section is devoted to Cavell’s theoretical reflections on the arts and modernism. The fourth section begins with an analysis of Cavell’s writings on the American Transcendentalists and the Comedies of Remarriage, and then explores how the introduction of the concept of Emersonian Perfectionism can be interpreted as an attempt by Cavell to synthesize his entire philosophical journey. The conclusion reflects on how best to situate Cavell within both the analytic tradition and the broader philosophical landscape.
