More from Cornel West
"We live in a moment in which there is a courage deficit. People want to be popular and comfortable. They don't have the courage to tell the truth."
"To be a visionary is to see beyond the present moment."
"The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice. But it doesn't bend on its own."
"Truth is not simply what we feel, but what we are willing to fight for."
"Love is not just an emotion, it's a practice. It's a commitment. It's a way of being in the world."
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.
