John Watson, George Grant, and Charles Taylor - Appropriations of Hegelian Political Thought
Recovery of Watson's Thought
The recovery of Watson's thought is particularly valuable. Sibley shows that Watson, an internationally respected philosopher in the early twentieth century, discussed idealism and support for imperialism in ways that are particularly relevant in our new age of empire.
Grant's Relationship to Hegel
A consideration of Grant's relationship to Hegel illuminates what led Grant to declare that Canada was "impossible" in the age of technology.
Sibley's Comparative Analysis
Sibley's comparison of Grant and Trudeau is both unexpected and intriguing. So, too, is his analysis of the "illiberal strands" in Taylor's "politics of recognition."
