A Jazz-Soaked Philosophy [Complete] - Cornel West
from History of Philosophy Audio Archive · host William Engels
This year (2024) Dr. Cornel West was invited to give the annual Gifford Lecture Series at the University of Edinburgh. He shook things up - rather than outlining a theory or justifying a method for doing philosophy, he traced a new approach rooted in the language of jazz, blues, and the black freedom struggle in America. (00:00:00) Philosophic Prelude (00:49:55) Metaphilosophic Andante (01:43:07) Folly Presto (02:33:36) History Adagio (03:26:47) American Allegro Molto Vivace (04:25:41) A Love Supreme (A Way Through) I've published these lectures before on this podcast, but have now remastered them and combined them into one super-episode. I really hope you enjoy this special presentation. -//- Original YouTube Source: https://youtu.be/cAXjezpNKIU?si=McXhN_cSraLEOu0J
