New Perspectives in Canadian Philosophy
Canadian Philosophy
This article inquires into the difference between philosophy as a universal practice and philosophy as a cultural product; its aim is to establish a case for there being Canadian philosophy. Philosophy as a practice can exhibit a dialectical framework. The practice can pursue both universal truths and cultural variations in expressions of those truths. Each philosophical endeavor requires the other to be meaningful. No matter how abstract a “trut…
Hegel and Canada
Hegel and Canada is a collection of essays that analyses the real, but under-recognized, role Hegel has played in the intellectual and political development of Canada. The volume focuses on the generation of Canadian scholars who emerged after World War Two: James Doull, Emil Fackenheim, George Grant, Henry S. Harris, and Charles Taylor.
On Loyalty and Loyalties
The title of John Kleinig's book captures the author's concern with the subtle nuances of the idea of loyalty, in itself and in relation to moral concerns. In part I, the concept of loyalty receives a thorough analysis, with Kleinig considering whether it is a descriptive property, a sentiment or virtue, a product of reason, or a custom. He concludes it is an Aristotelian virtue, one closely associated with our sense of identity. In part II, Klei…

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…
Western Mindscapes
The concept of a invites philosophical analysis. In the context of Canadian philosophy (see Armour and Trott, The Faces of Reason), such an analysis will be essentially dialectical. This approach finds its origins in the works of Hegel and other neo-Hegelian philosophers, such as F. H. Bradley, T. H. Green, and Bernard Bosanquet, writing in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Neo-Hegelian traditions influenced the writings of most …
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…
