What is Beyond the Philosopher's Fear: A Cavellian Reading of Gender, Origin and Religion in Modern Skepticism (Intersections: Continental and Analytic Philosophy) about?
Based on a detailed analysis of gender in Stanley Cavell's treatment of the skeptical problem, this book addresses the relationship between gender and religion in modern skepticism. Engaging in dialogue with Julia Kristeva's philosophy, Viefhues claims that a religious problem underlies Cavell's understanding of the feminine. The feminine which the skeptic fears is construed as a placeholder for the beyond, marking the transcendence of our origins which are elusive yet at the same time part of ourselves. It is argued that a religious question of origins thus lies at the heart of the modern skeptical problem. Review "Viefhues-Bailey performs the admirable feat of providing both a thorough and lucid introduction to Cavell's oeuvre from beginning to end, as well as a penetrating critique of gender in Cavell." --Modern Theology 26(1), 2010 by Peter Dula "Viefhues-Bailey's book offers a novel look at the connection between skepticism and religion and also an insightful and informed critical reading of Cavell." --European Journal of Philosophy, 18(2), June 2010 by Berislav Marusic About the Author Ludger H.
