| Abstract | "Stanley Cavell has written extensively on modernist art - particularly on painting, photography, music, literature, and especially cinema. However, Cavell's importance for understanding modernism is not exhausted by his interest in modernist art and literature. Equally significant, and perhaps even more original, is his understanding of ordinary language philosophy as a modernist enterprise in its own terms. This volume features introductory essays on Cavell's most important works, delves into more specific aspects and problems pertaining to Cavell's aesthetics and its moral and political implications, and includes an extended glossary of Cavell's key words and concepts"-- Provided by publisher. |
