John Magee – författare

Until the Renaissance, the work of Calcidius offered the medieval West almost the only direct access to Plato’s corpus not dispersed in fragments. In the 4th century CE, Calcidius translated into Latin an important section of Plato’s Timaeus, complemented by extensive commentary and organized into coordinated parts. The first part is broadly devoted to the architecture of the world, to its intelligible structure. The second delves into the nature of the living creatures that inhabit it. This basic division subsequently informed the sense of macrocosm and microcosm—of the world and our place in it—which is prevalent in western European thought in the Middle Ages. At the same time, this medieval volume altered perspectives on Plato by drawing on other philosophical traditions, particularly the Stoic and Peripatetic, while including Judeo-Christian cosmology and anthropology. The present edition provides the first English translation of Calcidius’s work.

First published in 1974, Northern Ireland is a collection of documents which constitutes an illuminating description and analysis of the complex religious, political, social, and economic factors that underlie the Irish conflict. The author goes back to the seventeenth century to find the roots of the troubles.All sides of the argument are represented in documents which range from government statements to Provisional and Official IRA manifestos. They propose answers to various questions: why are there two separate communities in Northern Ireland, and why are they so bitterly divided? Why has there been no rapprochement between the North and South for over fifty years? A balanced factual account of the Civil Rights movement, and of the gradual disintegration of the once omnipotent Ulster Unionist party is given. The final section deals with the arrangements suggested for Northern Ireland and with the prospects of establishing a kind of all-Ireland institution.
