Toward a Postmodern Ethic of Radical Freedom

“Darrell Wesley has put a pen to words that inoculate the human spirit with wisdom from one of the greatest contemporary intellects I know. This work is a must-read for those who desire to transcend their current reality to a place where only a few dare to live, freedom.”


—Charley Hames Jr., bishop, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church





“Toward a Postmodern Ethic of Radical Freedom is an essential and insightful book. Working in academia, I see it as a required reading for American Studies and interdisciplinary programs. Darrell Wesley brilliantly brings Cornel West and Michel Foucault, two postmodern giants, into a conversation that will change how the academy conceptualizes the connection between theory and practice. Scholars, public intellectuals, church leaders, and practitioners have been waiting on this book. An amazing gift!”


—Bennie L. Harris, chancellor, University of South Carolina Upstate





“In the first ever book written about Cornel West and Michel Foucault, Toward a Postmodern Ethic of Radical Freedom is personal, theoretical, and practical. Darrell Wesley weaves philosophy, social theory, religious epistemology, and metaphysics into a manifesto of hope. Ingeniously, this text shows how deep philosophic notions can serve as resources for existential self-help. In a word, this book is nothing short of genius.”


—Glenn S. Johnson, professor of urban planning and environmental policy, Texas Southern University
