Eugene A. Forsey: An Intellectual Biography

di Frank Milligan (Autore)

University of Calgary Press, 2004

In this unusual biography of one of Canada's most well--known public figures, author Frank Milligan traces the intellectual foundations on which Eugene Forsey's world--view was constructed. Starting with his middle--class Ottawa upbringing, Forsey's philosophical pilgrimage was the product of a deep allegiance to a Christian social gospel, exposure to the radical politics of the labour movement and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), and a profound reverence for British Tory constitutionalism. Milligan weaves these threads together with skill and dexterity. By studying Forsey's beliefs-both religious and political-Milligan unearths the philosophical underpinnings of many of Canada's early twentieth--century political, economic, religious, and social reform movements.
