This Palgrave Companion brings together original essays by leading scholars to explore the multifaceted work of one of today’s most provocative thinkers. Spanning Raymond Tallis’s contributions to literary criticism, fiction, poetry, philosophy of mind, phenomenology, medical ethics, and secular humanism, the volume offers a comprehensive and critical engagement with his oeuvre. It includes two original chapters by Tallis himself, who also responds to every chapter in the volume. Contributors examine Tallis’s challenges to scientism and affirm the irreducibility of conscious human agency through rigorous interdisciplinary critique, while also addressing his literary and artistic insights. The book culminates in a reflection from Tallis on sixty years of intellectual inquiry. This Companion is essential reading for students and scholars in philosophy, literature, medical humanities, and cultural criticism, and for anyone interested in the enduring mystery of human consciousness and agency.

The Palgrave Companion to Cavell’s Aesthetic Thought is a collection dedicated to the intersections between Stanley Cavell’s aesthetic thought and an array of major philosophical figures: Kant, Nietzsche, Schelling, Wittgenstein, Austin, Heidegger, Benjamin, Arendt, Derrida, Diamond, Bugbee, and others. It offers a comprehensive account of Cavell’s aesthetic legacy by exploring its indebtedness and relevance to these philosophical interlocutors. The volume’s premise is that Cavell’s conversational mode of philosophizing is intimately connected to his original understanding of art and film and to their centrality in his work. The featured essays elucidate different aspects of this connection, as each chapter reconstructs Cavell’s dialogue with another thinker on a subject chosen from the vast gamut of Cavell’s work: aesthetic experience, philosophical style, perfectionism, reading, literary form, modernism, film genres, and more. The Palgrave Companion to Cavell’s Aesthetic Thought offers cutting-edge perspectives on traditional Cavellian themes while also opening unexpected avenues of “doing things with Cavell.” It addresses scholars and students interested in Cavell, aesthetics and the arts, dialogical thinking, and their significance for modern philosophy at large.
