Reconciling the Solitudes
"Taylor is Canada's leading political philosopher and the present collection constitutes a magisterial set of reflections on the Canadian predicament going back almost thirty years ... I have little doubt that the readership for this volume will be large and diverse, tapping not only an academic audience but a lay public as well. In these stormy times, with Canada threatening to go the way of Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, or the ex-Soviet Union, Taylor's views deserve the broadest possible dissemination." Philip Resnick, Department of Political Science, University of British Columbia. "The book displays a remarkable understanding of the political and social forces that shaped the Canadian constitutional debate of the last quarter century." John C. Courtney, Department of Political Studies, University of Saskatchewan.
Taylor is one of the world's pre-eminent experts on Hegel and brings to his reflections on nationalism and federalism the fruits of a more universal philosophical discourse rooted in the Enlightenment and before. Les mer
