Abstract

Abstract:Taking my title from "Lingering in the Woods," one of Umberto Eco's Six Walks in the Fictional Woods, I present a study of Stanley Cavell's style of writing. While a dominant Anglo-American style of philosophical writing seems to be motivated principally by a desire for argumentation, a Cavellian, lingering style aims at thorough expression and description of the human experience. Traces of this style can be found also in Ludwig Wittgenstein's writing. After reopening the debate that arose from some responses to The Claim of Reason, I conclude with a close reading of Cavell's "Excursus on Wittgenstein's Vision of Language."

逗留:维特根斯坦、卡维尔和风格问题

摘要：我的题目取自翁贝托·埃科的《在森林里漫步六次》中的《在树林里徘徊》，我对斯坦利·卡维尔的写作风格进行了研究。虽然英美哲学写作的主导风格似乎主要是出于对论证的渴望，但卡维利亚式的、挥之不去的风格旨在彻底表达和描述人类经验。这种风格的痕迹也可以在路德维希·维特根斯坦的作品中找到。在重新开始对《理性的主张》的一些回应引发的辩论之后，我最后仔细阅读了卡维尔的《维特根斯坦语言视野的Excursus on Wittgenstein’s Vision of Language》

期刊介绍： For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy. Philosophy and Literature challenges the cant and pretensions of academic priesthoods by publishing an assortment of lively, wide-ranging essays, notes, and reviews that are written in clear, jargon-free prose. In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
