		Grant's works of the 1960s had a strong influence on the nationalist movement of the 1970s, though many of the New Left were uncomfortable with Grant's deep though unconventional religious thought.
		Grant was beginning to come to the conclusion that the science of human and non-human nature, which had begun 400 years earlier with Francis Bacon, had led to a society in which human beings were not fitted to live.

	Encyclopedia: George Grant
		George Parkin Grant (Toronto, (November 13, 1918 - Halifax, Nova Scotia, September 27, 1988) was a Canadian philosopher, teacher and political commentator, whose popular appeal peaked in the late 1960s and 1970s.
		Grant wrote about Canadian nationhood in the modern society, about technology and culture, and what becomes of us all when our own technology changes us, and all we are left with is touristic memorabilia and Canadiana.
		Grant admires Nietzsche and applies Nietzsche's "Will to Power" concept to the fixation with technology as a "will to will." Grant says that modern man would rather "will nothing" than have "nothing to will." Or in other words, seeking uses for technology after the technology is created and controlling everything including people themselves with technology.

	Modern Age: George Grant: intimations of deprival, intimations of beauty
		GEORGE GRANT (1918-1988) was incontestably the most important Canadian conservative thinker of the twentieth century, and it is perhaps his distinctively Canadian approach to conservatism that has made his writings less well-known in the United States.
		However, the Canada George Grant had in mind was not the Canada of the last half century; rather it was the Canada that understood its distinctiveness as residing in a loyalty to the pre-modern in the face of America's revolutionary break.
		Grant's break with the doctrine of progress occurred intellectually on three distinct and yet interrelated levels; the religious; the social and political; and the historical.

	George Grant: A Biography by Michael Gauvreau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		What is essential in understanding Grant, Christian contends, is that he did not fit the philosophical stereotype of the ‘bloodless rationalist’ (xix) and, consequently, his writings must be interpreted in light of his unusually well-developed sensitivity to aesthetic experiences, particularly music and poetry.
		A cursory glance at Grant’s bibliography illustrates that his strength lay in the brilliant polemic of the essay, the address, and the radio broadcast, rather than in the philosophical treatise based upon years of sustained reflection, an achievement that seems to have eluded him.
		However, Grant’s Christian commitment, and his public insistence that philosophical endeavour must be grounded in faith, also placed him at odds with a Canadian academic culture increasingly oriented, after 1945, to specialization and technical research encouraged by the model of the natural sciences.

	Queen's Alumni Review Index
		Grant himself was eloquent about the need for those who graduated from university to go out into the world and build the country in a spirit of dedicated service rather than one of crass material gain.
		At times, Grant was impetuous, hot-tempered, over-bearing, and had an eager energy that often caused him to almost snub individuals once he had gain his objectives from them and had moved on to other things.
		Grant believed, however, that it was his duty as a minister of God, an educated gentleman and a citizen to promote his views on these subjects.

	The Friend: The Red Tory Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		George Grant is NOT a narrowly partisan politician confined to the day-to-day mud-slinging and hurly-burly of "practical politics" - rather, he is a political philosopher who looks at society from a high and abstruse standard which may fairly be termed as "world-historical" in its perspective.
		George Grant's view of himself as both a conservative and a Canadian nationalist is rooted in a certain view of modernity, modern history, and the development of Canada and the United States on the North American continent, which will be explained further below.
		Grant is in the ironic and paradoxical position of effectively being a technological determinist who criticizes technology, because it will result in the end of everything that has ever had meaning to humanity.

	Books In Review: George Grant
		George Grant was a professor of philosophy (mostly at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario) who had a wide audience through his public lectures and contributions to mass circulation magazines.
		Grant was a Christian, a deep thinker, even something of a mystic, and a commentator with insight into developments not only in Canada but in the entire Western world.
		Grant probably would be better known today if he had written the major work on technology or the freedom of the will that he once contemplated doing.

	Tennessee's Pioneer Baptist Preachers - GEORGE GRANT TAYLOR
		George Grant Taylor was born in Grainger County, Tennessee, March 18, 1816.
		In the war between the States Grant Taylor was a "Union" man, but when the war was over he was a great pacificator, lending his influence to conciliating men of different war views, thus helping to unify divided churches and communities.
		But Grant Taylor, I am told, always counseled moderation and charity, and at his own charge made trips to Knoxville, where a Federal Court would be in session, to intercede for his "rebel" brethren and friends and help them out of their troubles.

	Compass Vol. 14 #3, Books: Costello Review
		avid Cayley's George Grant in Conversation is a tidy and completely readable compendium of all the major themes that occupied Grant in his publications on philosophy and politics from the fifties to the late eighties.
		Cayley has clearly immersed himself in George Grant's thought--and not only in his thought but also in the dynamic intertwining of Grant's family and public life with his philosophical thinking over the course of more than thirty years.
		Grant turned to Plato, to the contemporary Platonist Leo Strauss and to the philosopher-mystic Simone Weil for aid in his own intellectual transformation away from this modern view of humanity based on the primacy of will, the mastery of nature, individualism and the shaping of society essentially by market-driven capitalism.

	George Grant and the Subversion of Modernity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		One wonders whether the reason for Grant's position as a famous outsider is not simply that he wrote non-technically about issues which the academy only acknowledges in its own jargon.
		Grant did not publish in university presses and he made no obvious attempt to contribute to or profit from what academics solemnly call `the literature.' The academy's little flock does not harken to such voices.
		The explanation is probably to be found in the title: `the subversion of modernity.' Alert social scientists see in Grant an articulate observer of such important social concerns as the eclipse of Christianity in public life, abortion, euthanasia, the decline of education, the downfall of liberalism, and related politically significant topics.
