James Doull's remarkable legacy as a teacher, scholar, and
thinker has left behind a profound and challenging examination of
the philosophical and historical roots of contemporary thought and
politics. His life's work was devoted to a reflection on freedom in
its philosophical and historical context and, more specifically, to
looking beneath the commonly accepted forms of North American and
Continental thought and discovering a deeper theoretical and
practical development. David Peddle and Neil Robertson have
collected Doull's essays on the history of western thought and
freedom, from the Ancient period to the Post-Modern era, and have
provided an introduction that places them in the context of Doull's
overall project.
Commentaries on his intricate works by twelve former colleagues
and students explore various aspects of Doull's history and place
it within the context of contemporary scholarship, allowing the
reader to judge the depth and rigour of Doull's writing. Together,
the texts and commentaries provide a long-overdue introduction to
and analysis of Doull's thought, offering further insight into a
longstanding and significant dialogue in Canadian philosophy and
classical studies, and bringing out a penetrating analysis of the
philosophical underpinnings of the contemporary world.
