Democratic Affections

Event Date: 

Thursday, February 14, 2019 - 12:00am to Friday, February 15, 2019 - 12:00am
The death in 2018 of Stanley Cavell brought to its end an exceptionally rich life in philosophy, one that continues to inspire readers and colleagues throughout the humanities and the humanistic social sciences. In this two-day event commemorating Cavell’s career, scholars from Europe and America join in a discussion of his contributions to our understanding of the affective dimensions of democratic life, particularly as these play out in film, religion, and what Cavell terms Emersonian Perfectionism.
