  • Cavell vs. Wittgenstein on the Body-Mind Problem

    Henry StatenARTICLENew Literary History2022

    and The Claim of Reason , Stanley Cavell put a lasting imprint on the literary reception of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations . In the wake of these books, it became standard practice to take Cavell’s reading as a reliable guide to this difficult text, or even to claim that in confronting Cavell, one confronts Wittgenstein. But the conflation of Wittgenstein’s thought with Cavell’s requires us to underplay or completely ignore wh…

  • How Not to Historicise a Poem

    Open AccessHenry StatenARTICLEVictoriographies2018References: 1

    While earlier forms of historical literary criticism treated history broadly as background or context, the early 1980s saw the development of new types of historicising criticism that aimed or claimed to penetrate to the very quick of lived historical experience, as this was mediated by literary texts. In this essay, I focus on Jerome McGann's New Historicist reading of Tennyson's ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ as an exemplary reading of its sort.…

  • The Origin of the Work of Art in Material Practice

    Henry StatenARTICLENew Literary History2012Cited by: 1

    In recent decades, the Greek theory of techne has been known to a literary critical audience primarily through Heidegger's essay "The Origin of the Work of Art." Heidegger promotes the notion that for the Greeks, techne ("art" or "craft") was not the active work of a willing, intentional subject, but rather an "allowing" of the upsurge of creation that the Greeks knew as physis, "nature." In the present essay I show, first, that Aristotle in fact…

  • Writing

    Henry StatenARTICLECR The New Centennial Review2009

    Writing:Empirical, Transcendental, Ultratranscendental Henry Staten (bio) I Radical Atheism is the most accurate, insightful, and complete account anyone has produced so far of Derrida's thought. Hägglund refutes a whole panoply of influential misreadings of Derrida, and he does so with a flair and clarity rarely attained by writers on deconstruction. Yet one central thread of exegesis in Radical Atheism is less lucidly articulated than it needs …

  • Eros in Mourning

    Henry StatenBOOKEros in mourning2001

    "For the religious-philosophical tradition in which Western literature is rooted," writes Henry Staten, "mourning is the horizon of all desire. As soon as desire is something felt by a mortal being for a mortal being, eros (as desire-in-general) will always be to some degree agitated by the anticipation of loss.". Eros in Mourning begins with a reading of the Iliad that shows how Homer, not yet influenced by the ideology of transcendence, analyze…

    For the religious-philosophical tradition in which Western literature is rooted, writes Henry Staten, is the horizon of all desire. As soon as desire is something felt by a mortal being for a mortal being, eros (as desire-in-general) will always be to some degree disturbed in its functioning by the anticipation of loss. This book begins with a reading of the Iliad which shows how Homer, not yet influenced by the ideology of transcendence, analyze…

  • "Wittgenstein and the Intricate Evasions of "Is

    Henry StatenARTICLENew Literary History1988

    N REMARK 109 of the Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein says the following about the kind of investigation that he is involved in: may not advance any kind of theory. There must not be anything hypothetical in our considerations. We must do away with explanation, and alone must take its place.' This is an astonishing proposal. I think there is nothing else like it in the history of Western thought. Husserl said things that sound similar, a…

  • Wittgenstein's Boundaries

    Henry StatenARTICLENew Literary History1988

    JOHN ELLIS REMARKS in Playing Games with that interpretation of Wittgenstein is certainly unique. Though he does not intend this as praise, sounds so much like praise to ears that I wish I could accept imputation. However, truth is that my reading of Wittgenstein is only too indebted to someone else-to Oets Bouwsma, teacher, walking companion of Wittgenstein, Fool of analytic philosophy (in sense of Lear's Fool). Now I ask reader to forgive me as…
