Excellent reading!
28 March 2014Pragmatism as more than just conversational subject matter.
West certainly has a project in mind when he writes this book: to deepen and sharpen the insights of the pragmatist tradition in light of the crisis of Marxist theory and the political and social ailments suffered, disproportionately, by marginalized communities.
21 October 2011Polemicist posing as Philosopher
The promotion of Cornel West as an intellect by the American academy belies its moral and intellectual corruption.
4 May 2007Cornel West's Prophetic Pragmatism
Cornel West has achieved public recognition as an intellectual activist, speaker, and writer on African-American studies and on black theology.
19 May 2004Excellent, Highly Subtle Book.
This is an excellent, highly subtle book.
14 November 2002Nice try, if you're an undergraduate
Nothing I could say about this book would be as compelling as reading an excerpt from it.
20 October 2001Disappointing
AS a reader intimately interested in pragmatism I came to this book in anticipated expectancy.
20 January 2001What made him famous
I found myself wondering, after arriving at Harvard, how Cornel West achieved such a high position in academic circles.
