Like Bazin in France and Perkins in England, Cavell did not just transform the American capacity to take film as a subject for philosophical criticism; he had to first invent that legitimacy. Part of that effort involved the creation of several key now-canonical texts in film studies, among them the seminal \u003ci\u003eThe World Viewed\u003c\/i\u003ealong with \u003ci\u003ePursuits of Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eContesting Tears\u003c\/i\u003e. The present collection offers, for the first time anywhere, a concerted effort mounted by some of today's most compelling writers on film to take careful account of Cavell's legacy. The contributors think anew about what precisely Cavell contributed, what holds up, what is in need to revision or updating, and how his writing continues to be of vital significance and relevance for any contemporary approach to the philosophy of film.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Larocca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501349163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501349164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020","brand":"David Larocca","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45331784270079,"sku":"9781501349164","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4c730fc-ebdf-41ef-b1cd-c4f92be0bee9.jpg?v=1713970883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-thought-of-stanley-cavell-david-larocca-9781501349164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
