Little Did I Know - Excerpts From Memory

Zusatztext "From its extraordinary beginning to its enlightened ending, this is a great work of literature of philosophy. Incomparable as well as peerless, Little Did I Know makes powerful contributions to psychology, to psychoanalysis, and to the art of writing, especially that of autobiography. It will contribute to how we understand the lives of philosophers and will be read with pleasure and utility for decades and centuries to come." Informationen zum Autor Stanley Cavell is Walter M. Cabot Professor of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value, Emeritus, at Harvard University. Klappentext Speaking to the American experience, this philosophical diary reflects on Cavell's journey from early childhood in Atlanta, through his musical studies at UC Berkeley and Julliard, to his subsequent veering off into philosophy at UCLA, his Ph.D. studies at Harvard, and his half-century of teaching. Zusammenfassung A fascinating work, at once philosophical and autobiographical, by one of the most original thinkers in the United States today.
