"I'm a blues man in the life of the mind. I'm a jazz man in the world of ideas..."


Cornel West is probably one of the most progressive thinkers that is still living today. West has written 4 books and has appeared on multiple political shows. I have always been captivated by him, the way he dresses, the way he speaks and the profound ideas he brings forth. This documentary, Examined Life, has many other progressive thinkers, Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek ,but West's words struck me the most.   

In this video he speaks about his own thoughts of truth. He goes on about romanticism, jazz, blues and everything in-between. 

Also the documentary is done by Jeff Mangum's wife, go figure.
