Stanley Cavell, a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, cited in “To the Wonder”

Stanley Cavell

Stanley Cavell, the U.S. philosopher who is  a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, has been cited in “To the Wonder”, Brett McCracken, Christianity Today, 12.04.13): “Already firmly established as a living legend, Malick is at the point in his career where he can make films exactly as he wants them, thoroughly unconcerned with the norms of studio filmmaking. But the ultra-abstract, “what just happened” tenor of his recent work is perhaps what you’d expect from a man who studied philosophy under Stanley Cavell at Harvard in the 1960s, read Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and lectured in philosophy at MIT.”
