Abstract

The publication of Here and There has recently made a first encounter with Stanley Cavell’s intellectual legacy possible. If you did not hear the bells ringing in celebration, it is probably because you are not part of the community of Cavellian or, perhaps, Wittgensteinian scholars and sympathizers. Of course, there is nothing wrong with preferring other communities. But bells should, at least in principle, be rung for everybody, regardless of whether one would like to listen and respond to their chiming.
