I've been listening to Cornel West's lectures in philosophy. I've not finished yet, but he seems to be saying that philosophy needs to be integrated into other fields, such as science, art, sociology, psychology, etc.
He is currently talking about how music expresses philosophical statements, profound ones, that can change the world. He cites John Coltrane's A Love Supreme, the entire album, as a monumental jump forward in philosophy and cites several illustrations of same.
I am familiar with Coltrane's music, but I am more partial to early Miles Davis. I am wondering, why Coltrane and not Davis (or other musicians)?
