Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The aim of this paper is to show how Stanley Cavell’s reading of Emerson’s “Self-Reliance” reinvents the concept of the self as associated to skepticism. In this essay, the structure of “self-reliance” emphasizes a skeptical alternation between authorship and passivity, saying and quoting, subjection to conformity and genius, that denies the Cartesian “cogito”, and allows a new understanding of our relation to our self as one of acknowledging, instead of knowing.
