By Will, Brooklyn, NY

"Cavell is brilliant when it comes to synthesizing diverse strains of intellectual history. What's more, his readings of canonical works of philosophy and literature are always original and frequently dazzling. His prose style, however, is unbearably obtuse -- even for a philosopher. One lesson that he failed to pick up from Wittgenstein: "That which can be said can be said simply.""
