Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Just Life with Benjamin Watson, Dr. Cornel West, philosopher, public intellectual, and prophetic voice for justice, joins Benjamin for a wide-ranging conversation on love, truth, and the moral demands of our time. Drawing from his famous declaration that “justice is what love looks like in public,” Dr. West explores the meaning of prophetic love in an age marked by division, tribalism, and moral crisis.  From addressing human suffering in Israel and Gaza to American militarism and the power of the blues they examine why love grounds justice, courage resists fear, and faith shapes public action.  Rooted in the Black prophetic tradition, West urges us to reject double standards, find our voice and help make wrongs right.
