Stanley Cavell (; born September 1, 1926) is an American philosopher. He is the Walter M. Cabot Professor of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value, Emeritus, at Harvard University. ==Life== Stanley Cavell was born to a Jewish family in Atlanta, Georgia; his mother, a locally renowned pianist, trained him in music from his earliest days. 〔Little Did I Know, 21 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 During the Depression, Cavell’s parents moved several times between Atlanta and Sacramento, California. 〔Little Did I Know, 24 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 As a teenager, Cavell played lead alto saxophone as the youngest and sole white member of a black jazz band in Sacramento. 〔Little Did I Know, 169 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 At 16, he entered the University of California, Berkeley, where he majored in music, studying with, among others, Roger Sessions and Ernest Bloch. 〔Little Did I Know, 85, 183 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 After graduation, he began studies in composition at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City, only to discover that music was no longer his aspiration. 〔Little Did I Know, 220-225 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 He eventually began to study philosophy at UCLA, and then transferred as a graduate student to Harvard University. 〔Little Did I Know, 247 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 As a student there he came under the influence of the visiting J. L. Austin, whose teaching and methods "knocked him off ... () horse."〔The Claim of Reason: Wittgenstein, Skepticism, Morality and Tragedy, xv (New York: Oxford, 1979).〕 In 1954 he was awarded a Junior Fellowship at the Harvard Society of Fellows. Before completing his PhD, he became an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1956. 〔Little Did I Know, 326 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 From 1962-1963 Cavell was a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, where he became a lifelong friend of the British philosopher Bernard Williams. 〔Little Did I Know, 149 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 In 1963 he returned to the Harvard Philosophy Department, where he became the Walter M. Cabot Professor of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value. 〔Little Did I Know, 435 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 In the summer of 1964, Cavell joined a group of Harvard faculty and graduate students, who taught at Tougaloo College, a historically black college in Mississippi, as part of what became known as the Freedom Summer. 〔Little Did I Know, 373 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 In April 1969, during the time of student protests arising from, among other things, the Vietnam War, Cavell, together with his colleague John Rawls, worked with a group of African-American students to draft language for a vote by the faculty that established the Department of African and African-American Studies at Harvard. 〔Little Did I Know, 508-512 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2010).〕 In 1979, along with the documentary filmmaker Robert Gardner, Cavell helped establish the Harvard Film Archive, to preserve and present the history of film. 〔()〕 Cavell received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1992. 〔()〕 From 1996-1997 Cavell was President of the American Philosophical Association (Eastern Division).〔()〕 He remained on the Harvard faculty until his retirement in 1997. After retiring, he taught courses at Yale University and the University of Chicago. He also held the Spinoza Chair of Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam in 1998.〔http://www.uva.nl/en/disciplines/philosophy/home/components-centrecolumn/the-spinoza-chair.html〕 Cavell’s first marriage, to Marcia (Schmid) Cavell, ended in divorce in 1961; their daughter, Rachel Lee Cavell, was born in 1957. He and Cathleen (Cohen) Cavell were married in 1967 and live in Brookline, Massachusetts; they have two sons, Benjamin (born 1976) and David (born 1984). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanley Cavell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
