Dr. Cornel West

I recently finished Cornel West's Democracy Matters and was pleased to discover that he was so deeply affected by music. Throughout the book, West cites the blue, jazz and hip-hop as being important players in his conception of democracy and, by extension, his philosophy.

In this clip from Examined Life, Dr. West speaks about Truth, with his section on music coming in at the 6 minute mark.
