Cavell, a leading contemporary American thinker, is best known for his highly influential contributions to the fields of film studies, Shakespearian literary criticism, and the confluence of psychoanalysis and literary theory. This work presents a philosophical study of the work of Stanley Cavell.

Presents a study of Wittgenstein, Heidegger, and Kierkegaard which argues that they find themselves unable simply to inherit the prevailing conventions definitive of philosophy. This book explains how by placing these conventions in question, they reconceive the form of philosophical writing, and of philosophy itself.
