Description 1 online resource (xiii, 317 pages) : portrait Contents The Early Years -- Eugene Forsey and Tory Democracy -- The Roots of Christian Activism -- The Oxford Tradition -- Depression-Era Christianity -- "Real Democracy": 1930-1935 -- Civil Libertarian and the Forces of Reaction -- The Planned Society -- The British Constitutional Tradition Summary In this unusual biography of one of Canada's most well-known public figures, author, Frank Milligan traces the intellectual foundations on which 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, and a profound reverence for British Tory constitutionalism. 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 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
