"The greatest gift you can give is to be fully present."
"Calling Larry Summers 'the Ariel Sharon of higher education'."
"In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme."
"I'm a revolutionary Christian, a non-Marxist socialist, a prophetic pragmatist, and a Socratic gadfly."
"We are all in this together, or we are not in it at all."
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.
