More from Cornel West
"I'm not a politician. I'm a prophet."
"The greatest danger is not to fail, but to not try."
"Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public."
"The prophetic tradition is about speaking truth to power."
"The function of a prophet is to tell the truth in public, no matter the consequences."
About Cornel West (born 1953)
American philosopher, public intellectual, and theologian (Race Matters, 1993; Democracy Matters, 2004), now teaching at Union Theological Seminary. Closely associated with Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Harvard Black-studies collaborator) and Toni Morrison (literary peer and friend). For an intellectual contrast, see Larry Summers, economist and former Harvard President — Summers's 2002 confrontation with West over rap-album recordings, summer-school grading, and political activism led to West's high-profile departure from Harvard for Princeton. The clash became the public face of competing visions of Black scholarship — celebrity public intellectual vs traditional academic gatekeeping.
