You can't talk about truth unless you talk about yourself.

Christians got a lot of work to do. But, the spirit of Dorothy Day is alive. Martin Luther King is still alive. Malcolm X and the prophetic Islamic tradition is still alive. We can't lose sight of those prophetic religious folk who, even given their kin in the same tradition, says, you all are wrong on this, but we're still in the same tradition.

There's simply no philosophizing without a love of wisdom, absolutely.

You can't talk about truth unless you talk about yourself.

I believe philosophy must go to school with the poets; it's not either/or, it's not over or against.

Larry Summers, I think, he had a long history of arrogance and relative ignorance about poor people's culture and working people's culture and so forth.

Does he have a double standard for black critics as opposed to white critics?
