Cornel West is an American philosopher, political activist, social critic, author, and public intellectual.
The son of a Baptist minister, West focuses on the role of race, gender, and class in American society and the means by which people act and react to their “radical condition edness.” Styling himself as a radical democrat socialist, West draws intellectual contributions from multiple traditions, including Christianity, the black church, Marxism, neo pragmatism, and transcendentalism. Among his most influential books are Race Matters (1994) and Democracy Matters (2004).
