Studies in Contemporary Social and Political Thought in the 20th Century - History, Recognition and Politics: Hegelianism in Canadian Political Thought
CTMP3410.03F
In this course we consider the remarkable influence of G.W.F. Hegel in Canadian political thought.
DESCRIPTION
In this course we consider the remarkable influence of G.W.F. Hegel in Canadian political thought. Anchoring our discussion in three of Hegel’s central political texts, we look at Hegel’s resonance for some of the most influential thinkers in post-war political philosophy in Canada. Hegel’s accounts of the intersections between institutions and individual goods helped to frame Canadian debates about language rights, education, self-governance and constitutional law. This course delves into one of the most vexing questions of Canadian political thought – the question of Canadian identity – through the writings of some of the most thoughtful political commentators of the post-war period and their engagement with practical debates about individual and collective goods.
