Stanley Cavell (1926-2018) was one of the most celebrated American philosophers of the past century.  Outside of the academy, he was perhaps best know for his insightful interpretation of Hollywood classics, which had profound impact upon our understanding of the significance of film.  This screening of one of his favorite screwball comedies will be followed by a discussion with his four most accomplished students and friends. 

Panelists:

Nancy Bauer, Dean of Liberal Arts and Professor of Philosophy, Tufts University

Richard Eldridge, Professor of Philosophy, Swarthmore College

Garrett Stewart, Professor of English, University of Iowa

Michael Fischer, Provost and Professor of English, Trinity University
