The American philosopher Stanley Cavell (b. 1926) is a secular
Jew who by his own admission is obsessed with Christ, yet his
outlook on religion in general is ambiguous. Probing the secular
and the sacred in Cavell’s thought, Espen Dahl explains that
Cavell, while often parting ways with Christianity, cannot
dismiss it either. Focusing on Cavell's work as a whole, but
especially on his recent engagement with Continental philosophy,
Dahl brings out important themes in Cavell’s philosophy and his
conversation with theology.
