In this week's episode of Straight Ahead, hosts Greg Thomas and Aryeh Tepper are joined by Appiah, a celebrated philosopher, writer and present-day President of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, for a conversation that ranges from John Dewey and Cornel West to Confucis and Al-Ghazali and explores the meanings of philosophy, Afrocentricity, and the limits of race. Along the way, the discussion also considers the necessity of understanding intolerant forms of universalism such as Political Islam.

Yet in this wide-ranging Omni-American conversation with hosts Greg Thomas and Aryeh Tepper, he eloquently explores how bridging divides has been a prime focus in his familial background, religious and spiritual orientation, and political allegiances. The rich musical history of his family is grist for the exchange, which also integrates how Braver Angels employs music at its conventions to touch people’s souls. John also explains how he became a conservative Republican who ran against Maxine Waters in California a decade ago and why he feels that Dr. Martin Luther King’s orientation of agape love as a transcendent foundation for the civil rights movement remains a useful model for today, in contrast to an anti-racist approach that devalues the imperative of moral persuasion as a foundation for social change.

Ellison also wrote one of the great American essays of the 20th c., "The Little Man at Chehaw Station: The American Artist and his Audience." In this week's episode of "Straight Ahead," hosts Greg Thomas and Aryeh Tepper explore Ellison's essay for what Ellison himself understood to be the purpose of art: equipment for life. Following the trail of Ellison's three anecdotes - from the Little Man behind the stove at Alabama's Chehaw Train Station who knows the tradition, to the Tall Man on Riverside Drive who reflects America's unprecedented combinations, to the foul-mouthed workingmen arguing over who's the best soprano at the Metropolitan Opera - the essay maps the character of American culture and the challenges that American artists and audiences face in transmuting America's constant, dynamic flux into a coherent and life-giving whole.

In particular, the discussion examines the difficulty in speaking with those on the far left who don't believe in "truth" or those in Islamist fundamentalist circles whose certainty in their truth is so absolute that no room is left for differing perspectives. All in all, the conversation is a deep dive into pragmatic ways of having meaningful conversations in a pluralistic society across profound differences.

Crouch (1945-2020) was a co-founder of Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis and Albert Murray, and his insights into the relationship between blues, jazz, democracy, and the U.S. Constitution foresaw many of today's political excesses on the illiberal left and right as grounded in the American love of the rebellious outlaw. Yet Crouch's essay goes beyond surface conflicts by investigating the tragic optimism that suffuses America's founding documents.

David Bernstein's personal and professional odyssey frames the conversation, which also confronts the ideology of post-colonialism and the impact of the Oct. 7th attack on Jewish American liberals who increasingly find themselves out of step with social justice progressives who stand against Israel. This conversation is a testament to what a nuanced discourse from an American cultural and political center can look and sound like.

Aryeh and Greg then discuss Harvey Mansfield's Machiavelli's Effectual Truth: Creating the Modern World and explore the low but solid ground of modernity that has produced unprecedented prosperity and technological power but that leaves no room for the human soul. Tracing the reappearance of the soul in Black American culture and 20th c. psychology, the conversation concludes with thoughts on the role that music plays in vitalizing the soul of individuals and political communities.

Our conversation with Roya touches upon her unique set of perspectives acquired while growing up in a Persian Jewish family in the “Islamic Republic of Iran” before moving to the United States as a young adult, where she soon established herself as an English-language writer. Roya’s work mediates between the rise of Iran and the forces of Political Islam, on the one hand, and the Western world, especially the United States of America, on the other. A champion of democratic life, in the episode Roya humorously explores how basic freedoms are often taken for granted by Americans while noting the importance of clearly seeing the challenge to democracy posed by Islamists around the world.

Relating his personal story as well as his many books and documentaries, “Skip” Gates emphasizes how intertwined “black” and “white” Americans are and how this reality is tragically obscured by the Culture Wars post-Reconstruction to now. Throughout the conversation, in which his experience in Africa and with Africans holds a special place, Prof. Gates displays a sense of humor intrinsic to his personal style and the Afro-American tradition.

In addition, Aryeh and Greg explore why we should listen to thoughtful antisemites and racists and consider if the standard division of political life into a liberal left and a conservative right is being superseded by a reality in which parties of resentment on the left and right are exerting pressure on a center that can choose the path of heroic, 'blues-tragic' optimism. The co-hosts also discuss Zora Neale Hurston, the woes of the American working class and the necessity of cultivating a precise vocabulary for navigating the world around us.

]]> 2196 no Race, Heresy, Jazz and Hip Hop with Coleman Hughes – Ep 1 https://thisis42.com/podcasts/ Our very first guest is writer, podcaster, and musician Coleman Hughes, winner of the 2022 Omni-American Young Leaders Award. We delve into Coleman’s upbringing and education, and how music and ideas inspire his work and thought.  Specifically, we discuss race and American identity; the conundrum of gender identity being more flexible than racial identity among academics and activists; the imperative of heresy and Plato's cave as a model for liberation from the shadow of race; and—since Coleman is a jazz trombonist and a hip hop MC—the interrelationship between jazz music and hip hop.  Straight Ahead is supported by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM).
