The Claim of Reason Quotes

“What I require is a convening of my culture's criteria, in order to confront them with my words and life as I pursue them; and at the same time to confront my words and life as I pursue them with the life my culture's words may imagine for me: to confront the culture with itself, along the lines in which it meets me.”
― Stanley Cavell, The Claim of Reason: Wittgenstein, Skepticism, Morality, and Tragedy
