The topics covered include Cavell's understanding of political community, philosophical anthropology, moral perfectionism, the positivist distinction between fact and value, political friendship, the differences between political and aesthetic disagreement, political romanticism, \"the pursuit of happiness,\" tragedy, and race. There are also evaluations of the ways Cavell's positions on these and other matters compare with those of Plato, Aristotle, Montaigne, Kant, John Stuart Mill, Thoreau, Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, Hannah Arendt, Carl Schmitt, Peter Winch, Wittgenstein, and Fred Astaire. This volume will be of great interest to political theorists and political philosophers, as well as to students of literature and film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanley Cavell's unique contributions to the study of epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, film, Shakespeare, and American philosophy have all received wide acclaim.

It not only probes the complex relation of Cavell's work to political philosophy; it also shows that there can be no serious grasp of Cavell's thought without acknowledging his deep commitment to the problematic of democratic practice and the Emersonian paideia of we ordinary citizens.--Cornel West, Princeton University\u003cbr\u003e\"How do we cultivate the arts of political judgment, conversation, and civility? Stanley Cavell, for over four decades, has awakened us to this question and helped to compose some answers.
