Description
Summary:George Grant is regarded as the most important Canadian conservative thinker of the 20th century. An outspoken college professor, public intellectual, and anti-war leader, Grant’s published works include Lament for a Nation (1965), Technology and Empire (1969), English-Speaking Justice (1978), and Technology and Justice (1986). This article examines Grant’s mature thought on a subject central to his moral concerns: abortion. It provides a close reading, followed by a detailed critique, of Grant’s essay ‘Abortion & Rights,’ read in the context of Grant’s analyses of modern culture, John Rawls’s Theory of Justice, and the US Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade.
