Description
Twentieth-century Canada fostered a range of great minds, but the country’s diversity and wide range of academic fields have led to their ideas being portrayed as the work of isolated thinkers. Canadian Idealism and the Philosophy of Freedom contests this assumption by linking the works of C.B. Macpherson, George Grant, and Charles Taylor to demonstrate the presence of a Canadian intellectual tradition.

Editorial Reviews
"Regardless of one's specific interests, Canadian Idealism and the Philosophy of Freedom has an enthusiasm and clarity that invites, rather than restrains the reader's interest. The range of topics addressed is wide and varied, yet all are relevant to the topic of freedom, and while the arguments are focused on political concerns, they extend far beyond the political sphere." Elizabeth Trott, Ryerson University
