This New Yet Unapproachable America: Lectures After Emerson after Wittgenstein (The 1987 Frederick Ives Carpenter Lectures) - Softcover
Synopsis
The two essays in this book, first published in 1989, were delivered as two of the 1987 Carpenter Lectures at the University of Chicago. Wittgenstein and Emerson are major influences on and subjects of Cavell's thought, and here he thinks and rethinks of these two intellectual forebears. As the title shows, he finds an important crux for contemplation in Emerson's idea of America.
