From Guardianism to Postmodernism: Historiography and the Interpretation of Canadian Political Culture
This article seeks to go some way toward shedding light on a certain dimension of Canadian intellectual history, specifically that dimension wherein the changing theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of Canadian political culture is the core subject matter. Canadian political culture will be defined here as that collation of ideas, principles, thoughts and opinions which foster the establishment and continuation of a set of political structure…
Future Technoscientific Education: Atheism and Ethics in a Globalizing World
This article attempts to assess the claim that the unum necessarium in our time is the general dissemination of scientific knowledge because liberal civilization or the “good society” cannot be had in the presence of traditional religion and “metaphysics.” The paper attempts to place this claim in the context of continuing globalization and related questions such as 9/11, Fundamentalist Islam, Sino-Western relations, “pop” atheism and the prospec…
Reforming Liberalism: J. S. Mill's Use of Ancient, Religious, Liberal, and Romantic Moralities
Reforming Liberalism: J. S. Mill's Use of Ancient, Religious, Liberal, and Romantic Moralities. By Robert Devigne. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. 320p. $45.00.

In so doing, Devigne introduces us to the gre…

It is the purpose of this essay to look at Lord Brougham primarily as a philosopher and, speaking loosely, theologian. It seems fair to say that the puzzle of Brougham's thought cannot be put together without such a consideration. I shall argue that Brougham is the kind of liberal thinker who rejected the Christian moral teaching while refraining from a frontal assault on Christian Revelation, and who opted instead for a rational theism, derived …
Egerton Ryerson's Canadian Liberalism
This article seeks to provide an overview of the political thought of Egerton Ryerson (1803–1882), the influential political controversialist and educational reformer of nineteenth-century Upper Canada. It attempts to unravel Ryerson's thought in such a way as to go beyond earlier interpretations which have insisted that, despite the presence of certain countervailing reformist tendencies in his politics, Ryerson was at bottom a thorough conserva…
