| Summary: | According to Stanley Cavell, in "Experience" Ralph Waldo Emerson, through the elaboration of the mourning for the death of his eldest son, faces and tries to solve the problem of skepticism, wrestling with the radical elusiveness of reality: the irretrievable division which mortifies our pretenses of a knowledge apt to manipulate, subtracting reality away from our projects, forces us to look for a foundation no longer in ideologies of self-justification but in the practice of reception, starting from the dimension of the limited, the ordinary, and the moment. The article throws light on the biblical and literary resonances of "Experience", an extremely complex essay, of a rhapsodic movement, where loss is figure of the failure of every utopia, yet occasion at the same time to win back the world of life and the present. |
