At the time, Dr Lauren Ware of the University of Kent described Ye as a “philosopher.”
Speaking to a news channel, Ms Kent revealed: “Philosophy as the pursuit of truth, the love of wisdom, is well-known, but Kanye’s embrace of controversy marks him out as genuinely engaging in philosophical practice.
“I teach a module at Kent called “Philosophical Reading and Writing”, and when students struggle to come up with material for their essays, we tell them: Find the controversy, find a problem, turn that into a question, and then your answer to that question is your thesis statement.*
She added: “Philosophy starts with controversy, and training and exercise in identifying and dealing with it charitably is a great way to flex your philosophical muscles.”
