Sins of the Flesh
Thoughts out of Season on the History of Animal Ethics
Contrary to conventional wisdom, the earlier Western tradition did not customarily deny souls per se to nonhuman animals; when it denied immortal souls to animals, it sometimes deemed that denial a reason for giving greater consideration to animals in their earthly existence. Nor has the Western tradition uniformly deemed animals intended for human use. Further, there was considerable opposition to the Cartesian view of animals as insentient mach…
Darwinism, Christianity, and the Great Vivisection Debate
The reputation of the Christian tradition has fared poorly in the literature on the history of attitudes to nonhuman animals. This is more a consequence of secularist prejudice than objective scholarship. The idea of "dominion" and the understanding of animal souls are almost universally misrepresented. There has been no firmer conclusion than that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution had a profoundly beneficial impact on the recognition of our s…

The Political Wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald
Macdonald is described as a man of phronesis who possessed a sophisticated political philosophy which, in general, conformed to the political disposition exemplified by Edmund Burke. Macdonald's views on the constitution, change, representation, democracy, women, tradition, economics, religion and unions are investigated. It is concluded that Macdonald was an anti-rationalist who saw the world in terms of loyalty, duty and obligation and who was …
The Anglo-Saxon Conservative Tradition
Nous pensons que l'hypothèse de Samuel Beer selon laquelle une partie du conservatisme moderne s'oppose radicalement à certains principes de l'ancien est fausse. Nous pensons au surplus que la Grande-Bretagne et non les Etats-Unis est la société-fragment libérate d'origine et par conséquent les conclusions de Louis Hartz et de ses disciples au sujet des idéologies américaine et canadienne nous semblent reposer sur un faux postulat. Le conservatis…
