‘Philosophy is in one of its periodic crises of method, heightened by a worry I am sure is not mine alone, that method dictates to content; that, for example, an intellectual commitment to analytical philosophy trains concern away from the wider traditional problems of human culture which may have brought one to philosophy in the first place.’

Aldus Stanley Cavell in zijn essay Aesthetic Problems of Modern Philosophy (1965) dat later werd opgenomen inMust We Mean What We Say? (Cambridge University Press 1969). Dit citaat komt uit de herziene herdruk van het laatstgenoemde boek (C.U.P, 2002; p. 74).
