Quotation
Most of us do not see how our opinions are gradually changed from what we think we believe, under the influence of ideas elucidated by others incomparably deeper and more consistent than ourselves.

Biographical
Author of Philosophy in the Mass Age (1959), Lament for a Nation (1965) and Technology and Empire (1969). Grant was one of Canada's most significant thinkers-- but was often misunderstood. Conventional conservatives find his anti-capitalism and anti-Americanism grating. Conventional liberals and social democrats find his allegiance to Christianity and tradition troubling. As a philosopher, a conservative, a Christian and a Canadian nationalist, Grant was indeed a rare bird. Central to his philosophy, writes David Cayley (George Grant: In Conversation, Edited by David Cayley, House of Anansi Press, 1996), was his belief that "fast-moving technological change means fast-moving moral and religious change. Anybody who thinks to the contrary, who thinks of technology as something outside themselves, doesn't know what they're talking about." [Adapted from Alberta Report]
