Included are Grant's early reviews, a brief journal written as he recovered from tuberculosis in 1942, his earliest social and political writings, and his DPhil thesis on the Scottish philosopher John Oman.
A number of his more disturbing essays are also included, such as his controversial writings on abortion. The editors' substantial introduction places the articles in the wider context of Grant's life and thought."--BOOK JACKET.

More than a decade after his death, George Grant continues to stimulate, challenge, and inspire.

However, while there has been considerable discussion of Grant's political theories, relatively little attention has been paid to their theological and philosophical underpinnings. In Athens and Jerusalem, Ian Angus, Ron Dart, and Randy Peg Peters gather together s...
Modern men regard themselves as essentially historical beings who are free to make themselves and their world through the power of modern science and technology. Joan O'Donovan explores George Grant's thought about this dilemma and the possibilities of political action and reflection in our age.
