Despite what his book's title might suggest, Stephen Mulhall's thorough explication of Stanley Cavell's philosophy is anything but ordinary. At the outset Mulhall makes it clear that he intends to address Cavell's exceptional formidability, and set himself not to attempt to do what can and must only be done by Cavell's own prose, but to clear the space that is required for it to do so'....to Mulhall's credit...he has cleared the space for such a return. --Philosophy and Literature<br> This book contains what is likely to remain for some time the most comprehensive and most ramified account of Cavell's work. It is a tour de finesse, at once densely argued and lucidly written, destined to become required reading in these fields. --Ethics<br>
