Eugene A. Forsey

Description:

"In this unusual biography of one of Canada's most well-known public figures, 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."--BOOK JACKET.
