The Faces of Reason
The Faces of Reason traces the history of philosophy in English Canada from 1850 to 1950, examining the major English-Canadian philosophers in detail adn setting them in the context of the main currents of Canadian thought. The book concludes with a brief survey of the period after 1950. What is distinctive in Canadian philosophy, say the authors, is the concept of reason and the uses to which it is put. Reason has interacted with experience in a…
On “Making God Go Away”—A Reply to Professor Maxwell
Ceci est une réponse à l'étude critique de Vance Maxwell, «Making God Go Away», consacrée au livre de Leslie Armour , Being and Idea La discussion porte sur la question suivante : est-ilpossible qu'il y ait une signification transcendante à nos vies sans un Dieu tyrannique?

Infini Rien
The wager fragment in Blaise Pascal's Pensees opens with the phrase infini rien--infinite nothing--which is meant to describe the human condition. Pascal was responding to what was, even in the seventeenth century, becoming a pressing human problem: we seem to be able to know much about the world but less about ourselves.The traditional European view of human beings as creatures made in the image of God and potentially capable of a mystical union…
Science & Religion in the Work of Charles De Koninck
Charles De Koninck etait un philosophe des sciences qui participait en outre de maniere active a la discussion de questions theologiques comme celle du dogme de l'Assomption de la Vierge Marie. L'A. soutient que ce dogme cadre bien avec la philosophie des sciences chez De Koninck si l'on admet son explication de la nature du monde concret―ce monde dont la science fait abstraction―et son explication de la causalite, en particulier ses vues sur la …
Newman, Arnold & the Problem of Particular Providence
It has often been suggested – recently again by Michael Goulder in a debate with John Hick – that what traditionally was called the problem of ‘particular providence’, the problem of God's selective interference in the ongoing affairs of the world, is so acute as to render any form of rational theism impossible. In the same debate Hick argues for a ‘minimalist’ position which allows divine intervention only in the form of a general, radiated, goo…
Canadian Philosophy
Mr. Mathien asks for evidence that there is Canadian philosophy in a special sense. He is not concerned with questions about whether people who were Canadians, or lived out much or most of their working lives in Canada, wrote philosophy which deserves to be taken seriously. Rather, he asks whether what has gone on in Canada by way of philosophy can be assembled in such a way as to make a coherent discipline
The Faces of Reason and Its Critics
The Faces of Reason , though it was mostly written in peaceful surroundings in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, arose in part out of a rather tumultuous debate about Canadian culture, its nature, its background, and its prospects. It also arose partly out of a consideration of philosophy in Canada and its failure, already evident in the 1960s, to deal with questions which seemed obvious to anyone with a grasp of Canadian intellectual history, but which n…
