"We all got a lot of work to do." "How do you come to terms with the quest for truth and goodness and beauty in such a way that you can engage in disagreement and still mediate it with respect. But, recognize that much is at stake. It is not a game. It is not a puzzle. We are talking about the future." Don't "loose sight of the preciousness and pricelessness of each and every one of us."
Cornel West speaking at a free public talk at MIT. He also responds to questions from the audience.
Cornel West graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard in three years and obtained his M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy at Princeton.
He is Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy at Harvard University and holds the title of Professor Emeritus at Princeton University. He has also taught at Union Theological Seminary, Yale, Harvard, and the University of Paris.
He has written 20 books and has edited 13. He is best known for his classics, Race Matters and Democracy Matters, and for his memoir, Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud. His most recent book, Black Prophetic Fire, offers an unflinching look at nineteenth and twentieth-century African American leaders and their visionary legacies.
