Over the past thirty years, Cavell has demonstrated that he is the most emphatic and provocative philosophical critic of Emerson that America has yet known. The sustained effort of that labor is drawn together here for the first time into a single volume, which also contains two previously unpublished essays and an introduction by Cavell that reflects on this book and the history of its emergence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents and scholars working in philosophy, literature, American studies, history, film studies, and political theory can now more easily access Cavell's luminous and enduring work on Emerson. Such engagement should be further complemented by extensive indices and annotations. If we are still in doubt whether America has expressed itself philosophically, there is perhaps no better space for inquiry than reading Cavell reading Emerson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[A] challenging but endlessly and unpredictably rewarding book.\"—\u003ci\u003eThe Times Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents @toc4:Author's Acknowledgements\ti Editor's Preface\tii Author's Introduction\tii @toc2:1\tThinking of Emerson\t0 2\tAn Emerson Mood\t00 3\tThe Philosopher in American Life (Toward Thoreau and Emerson) \t00 4\tEmerson, Coleridge, and Kant (Terms as Conditions)\t00 5\tBeing Odd, Getting Even (Descartes, Emerson, Poe)\t000 6\tFinding as Founding: Taking Steps in Emerson's \"Experience\" \t000 7\tStaying the Course\t000 8\tAversive Thinking: Emersonian Representations in Heidegger and  Nietzsche\t000 9\tEpilogue\t000 10\tHope Against Hope\t000 11\tA Cover Letter\t000 12\tWhat is the Emersonian Event?
