| Sumario: | [9] My sense of democratic individuality is built off of work done by Dewey, Wolin, and West, and my own contribution to this conversation will develop slowly throughout this paper as I correct and affirm aspects of radical democracy in Dewey, Wolin, and West. What is unique about my contribution to this conversation on sacred value is the explicit connection between BBCO, sacred value, and radical democracy that extends and refines Dewey's and Wolin's theory of radical democracy through conversation with Cornel West. John Dewey envisioned the "American experiment" of democracy as a moral and ethical ideal, lived out in personal habits and "in our daily walk and conversation."[1] More than mere external political forms or institutional arrangements, Deweyan democracy is a "personal way of life.".
