Sublime

Here the arch-traditionalist Spengler comes into strange alignment with the communist Karl Marx, with his theory of alienation, and the uncategorisable Simone Weil with her reflections on the consequences of rootlessness.

He conducts an ongoing interrogation about what it all means. What’s black culture? What’s hip-hop? What are the responsibilities of a society and the people in it? And his inquiry isn’t bloodlessly academic, either; there’s something very consequential about his approach.
