William F. Pinar presents a comprehensive and original study that demonstrates the significance and pertinence of the scholarship of George Grant for teaching today. While there are studies of Grant's political philosophy, there has been no sustained study of his teaching. Pinar not only draws upon the collected works; he has also consulted Grant's PhD thesis at Oxford, as well as the philosopher's biography, collected letters, and the vast secondary literature.What emerges is a treatise that reveals Grant's timeliness and his prescience in identifying and critiquing key educational issues nearly half a century ago, from academic vocationalism and educational technology to privatization and the ascendency of research-issues that are eminently relevant today.Beyond the classroom, Grant's concerns extended to the impact of economic globalization which, he feared, would erase distinctive national histories and cultures. As such, Grant foresaw the current issues of right-wing populism, notably in the UK and the US, as reactions against these historical tendencies.This volume is destined to become an indispensable reference work for students of Grant in particular and for students of education in general.This book is published in English.-S'il existe des etudes portant sur la philosophie politique et la theologie de George Grant, il n'y avait jusqu'a maintenant aucune etude soutenue sur son enseignement et, plus precisement, sur la relation de son approche pedagogique a celles-ci. Aucune etude ne puisait de facon aussi poussee a l'oeuvre complete - y compris a ses presentations aux enseignants et a sa these doctorale d'Oxford en philosophie - ou a sa biographie, sa correspondance, et la vaste litterature secondaire.Concu comme livre de reference pour les adeptes de Grant de meme que comme un manuel pour les etudiants en education, cet ouvrage arrive a point nomme. Pinar souligne la prescience de Grant, qui identifiait et critiquait il y a deja cinquante ans des questions d'ordre educationnel - vocation academique, technologie pedagogique, privatisation de l'enseignement, ascendance de la recherche sur l'enseignement - qui sont d'actualite.Grant etait aussi preoccupe par le destin de ce qu'il appelait la particularite au Canada et a l'etranger, et s'inquietait que la mondialisation economique effacerait les histoires et cultures nationales distinctives. Un etat mondial, universel et homogene les remplacerait, ce qui representerait la pire tyrannie infligee a l'humanite. Grant avait vu venir le populisme de droite que l'on voit actuellement prendre prise notamment au Royaume-Uni et aux Etats-Unis, comme reaction a ces tendances historiques.Ce livre est publie en anglais.
