Summary: A fine introduction to George Parkin Grant
Review: This interview of George Grant by David Cayley, serves as an excellent introduction to the thought of esteemed Canadian political philosopher George Grant. Originally a series of interviews for CBC Radio, the author then turned his notes and tapes into book form. Grant addresses familiar topics including technology, modernity, religion, influential Western philosophers, and his take on Canadian politics in the late 60's. The interviews catch Grant musing on his earlier writings and elucidating how some of his thinking has changed. Some philosphers that get discussed include Leo Strauss, Simone Weil, Nietzsche, and Heidegger.
