Little Did I Know: Excerpts from Memory by Stanley Cavell

jeremiah's review

"It is obvious enough to me that something moving me to think philosophically, more characteristically than in the case of the philosophers I have grown up with, is less an impulse to refute a text that attracts me than it is to read it differently from the way it seems to ask, but asks. This has not seemed to me to be an avoidance of the argument of the text but an alternative way of engaging it, a way of creating a future in which we both, the text and I, learn something about ourselves."
