Spirituality, George GrantAbstract
George Grant is well known as a Canadian Political Philosopher and social critic of technological globalization, but less known as a Christian with a highly distinctive and penetrating spirituality. This essay not only argues that Grant’s spirituality fundamentally shapes his thought, but that he unfolded his spirituality through key concepts which Grant discovered in his engagement with the gospels and the writings of Simone Weil.
