In Quest of the Ordinary: Lines of Skepticism and Romanticism
Stanley Cavell
A collection of lectures that examine such authors as Emerson, Thoreau, Poe, Wordsworth, and Coleridge to show that romanticism and American transcendentalism represent a serious philosophical response to the challenge of skepticism that underlies the writings of Wittgenstein and Austin on ordinary language.
