초록

Skepticism for Stanley Cavell is not simply a philosophical school ofone of the various trends of philosophy. Skepticism is a both anepistemological and ethical (aesthetic) crux. Although the modern humanbeing understands that he lives with others and the world, it is to his subjectivitythat he turns as a last instance of this belief. This article reveals that skepticismeffects a split between the subjective and objective to which the worldand the other belong. So, for modern human beings, the world is the sumof things I can't reach, and also I can't say that I'm truly with someoneelse. Humanities therapy is related to the question of how to look at theindividual's loneliness and anxiety, and the question of what is the solutionfrom loneliness and anxiety. In this context, Cavell's reflection on skepticismraises the question of how the other and the world can raise the possibilityof a possible coexistence beyond my closed subjectivity. From the paradigmof skepticism that persists from modern to the present, human beings arein a difficult situation. In that situation, the world became objectified andthe modern people who have been isolated as a prison of subjectivity aresuffering from the absence of meaning. This article reveals that Cavell'sthinking is an attempt to revive the meaning of the world and the other.
