Althouse: 8,000+ words on Elizabeth Weil's marriage.: "Stanley Cavell writes somewhere (I have the feeling it's in 'Disowning Knowledge in Six Plays of Shakespeare' or its sequel) that the male failing is hyperbolic skepticism, a need for knowledge beyond the human conditions of knowing (which accounts for the obsession with philosophy), and the corresponding female failing is fanaticism, loving beyond the human conditions of loving (which accounts for soap opera)."
