FROM THE CAVE TO THE CROSS: The cruciform theology of the George Grant and Simone Weil - is an academic work that enucleates the core tenets of Canadian political philosopher, George P. Grant, and his dependence on French philosopher-mystic, Simone Weil, in developing and articulating them. Grant's foundational theology (Platonic Christianity) includes his critique of modernity, his contemplative epistemology, his cosmology / anti-theodicy of the Cross and his cruciform public ethics. For each of these pillar beliefs, the author demonstrates Grant's overt affinities to Weil, cross-referencing his thought to hers and explicating the deep faith foundations of both of their politics, philosophy and ethics.
