Anotace knihy

This book examines the way in which George Grant, one§of Canada''s most famous political philosophers, holds§together the great intellectual traditions of Athens§and Jerusalem. By combining these two great§traditions in an uneasy synthesis Grant sought to§remove the impurities of technology and historicism.§Inevitably this brought him into contact with the§great philosophical geniuses Martin Heidegger and§Friedrich Nietzsche. These German thinkers brought§great clarity to Grant''s thought,but they also§represented that which Grant sought to defend§against, modernity. Grant''s synthesis of Platonism§and western Christianity provides the checks and§balance to learn from Heidegger and Nietzsche and yet§enough force to defend against them. With this§synthesis Grant hopes to provide a horizon with which§justice and morality can be measured, and a way of§knowing in which intimations of God are visible.§Grant is successful in this respect; however, his§engagement with Heidegger and Nietzsche did not leave§his theology unscathed.
