Cornel West part 1
from Christopher Lydon Interviews (with Enclosures)
Cornel West is a modern Emersonian. Come to think of it, Cornel West may just be the contemporary Emerson: an adventurous Christian thinker who keeps extending the question of what it means to be American, to be modern, to be human. West is entertainingly serious and seriously entertaining. He is a moral and political provocateur, a stylist and individualist. To boot, he's a prophet without honor at Harvard, as Emerson was after his notoriously unorthodox Divinity School Address of 1837.
