Stanley Cavell: Skepticism, Subjectivity, and the Ordinary

‘Surveying the whole range of Cavell’s thought, Espen Hammer has produced an immensely lucid and compelling overview of the fundamental gestures of, arguably, the most distinctive and original American philosopher now writing.’ – Jay Bernstein, The New School for Social Research, New York

‘Epsen Hammer’s lucid and engaging account of Cavell’s inheritance of Austin and Wittgenstein is particularly successful in showing how it might make possible genuinely productive encounters between the “analytic” and the “Continental” philosophical traditions.’ – Stephen Mulhall, New College, University of Oxford
