Cornel West: " Hope on a Tightrope"

"Paideia means deep education- learning how to die to live more intensely, critically, and abundantly. Because when you die, you give up certain assumptions and presuppositions to be reborn into a higher level of maturity. Like falling in love- the old self dies, the new self emerges and merges into another self, grounded by the gift of grace. PAIDEIA IS THE DEATH THAT SIGNIFIES REBIRTH." Cornel West
