A Jazz-Soaked Philosophy [Complete] - Cornel West

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.
