Reading Cavell's The world viewed : a philosophical perspective on film
A study of one of Stanley Cavell's greatest yet most neglected books. The authors address the philosopher's readers who have neither understood why he has given film so much attention, nor grasped the place of "The World Viewed" within the totality of his writings about film.
