| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to show how Stanley Cavell’s reading of
Emerson’s “Self-Reliance” reinvents the concept of the self as associated to
skepticism. In this essay, the structure of “self-reliance” emphasizes a
skeptical alternation between authorship and passivity, saying and quoting,
subjection to conformity and genius, that denies the Cartesian “cogito”, and
allows a new understanding of our relation to our self as one of acknowledging,
instead of knowing. |
