In reply to I didn't know Cornel West… by Anonymous Heyu…
Is Cornel West a philosopher?
Actually we talk about that both in this episode and the following interview with him. I actually tend to think philosophy is the center of gravity in his work, although there is a lot more going on. But you can hear what the man himself says about it in the interview...
