George Grant

    George Parkin Grant était un philosophe, professeur et commentateur politique canadien dont les écrits offrent une profonde méditation sur les grands livres et les penseurs de la civilisation occidentale. Il est reconnu comme l'un des esprits les plus originaux du Canada, abordant intensément des thèmes tels que le nationalisme canadien, le conservatisme politique, l'impact de la technologie et la foi chrétienne. L'approche intellectuelle de Grant, influencée par des philosophes anciens et modernes, s'est plongée dans une tradition idéaliste néo-hégélienne qui a profondément marqué le savoir et le discours politique canadien. Son œuvre se caractérise par une confrontation rigoureuse avec les idées fondamentales et sa contribution unique à la compréhension de la condition moderne.
