I remain ambivalent about his work, but it is certainly not, as Wieseltier asserts "almost completely worthless."
The truth is that Wieseltier's piece was a shameful, spite-ridden hatchet job on West, motivated almost entirely by the fact that West had been profiled in The New Yorker in 1994 and then assessed (along with lesser lights bell hooks and Michael Dyson) by me in a January 1995 essay that likened contemporary black intellectuals to the New York intellectuals of the postwar period.
It's true that West can be formulaic, derivative, clunky, and annoyingly self-absorbed (though surely in this last category Wieseltier is more than a match for him).
Wieseltier may be right that West's efforts at synthesis lack rigor.
Kudos to Jacob Weisberg for reading Cornel West on his own instead of relying on Leon Wieseltier's version.
