| Riassunto: | The purpose of this paper is to answer Emerson’s question in
“Experience”: “Where do we find ourselves ?”—i.e. the question of the discovery
and foundation of the new American self—by following the line, initiated by
Stanley Cavell, of the Ordinary. This article aims to uncover in Emerson’s
philosophy, particularly in “Experience,”, the transcendental-like constitution
of a list of categories of America’s experience. Such categories, however,
cannot be the classical (Aristotelian or Kantian) categories of being or
knowledge, but new categories of the ordinary, the discovery of which leads to
new concepts and “experiences” of the world, the self, and
others. |
