great interview and excellent questions. As a fluent welsh speaker I feel a connection with minority nations and languages across the world. I dont feel alone. I could listen to JRS all day. All the best Canada!
Hi there Ian,
What a fantastic interview with John Ralston Saul - one of the best thinkers ever on pretty much any subject...
Thank you for sharing this! Best regards from Australia, AC
Thank you for allowing me to hear, watch and reflect on the ideas of John Ralston Saul. I am fascinated by the concept of an aboriginal philosophy based on a non-linear model. I would love to have the names of some of the young aboriginal philosophers that he referred to during the interview so that I can follow up on these important ideas. I am particularly interested in the means by which consensus was and is reached in aboriginal communities and I would appreciate learning more about it. Ted Wall
Hi Ted, glad you enjoyed the conversation between JRS and I. It was an informative dialogue, especially hearing his views on the differences between linear western thinking and cyclical indigenous perspectives.
As for young aboriginal philosophers, JRS specially referred to the work of Taiaiake Alfred, director and professor of UVic's Indigenous Governance program:

Check out his writings, they're very thoughtful...
Hi Ian, Thanks for the quick reply. I will certainly check out Taiaiake Alfred's writings. Thanks for the superb interview and the thoughtful reply to my request.
