Contours of Canadian Thought

by A.B. McKillop

The leaps of knowledge in nineteenth-century science shook the foundations of religious and humanistic values throughout much of the world.

Their responses, many and varied, form a central theme in this collection of essays by one of Canada's leading intellectual historians.
