• W4379530382 abstract "after the 1921 Treaty and retired from politics to take up a judicial position. While he was a brilliant leader in promoting opposition to the government by all means, including treason, in at attempt to defeat Home Rule, he was a dismal failure as a minister in the war time coalition governments. He was essentially more a rabble-rouser than a statesman. Given his lack of real affection for the Northern Irish state, there is something deeply ironic about the fact that the larger than life-size statue of him, erected in his own lifetime in front of the parliament building at Stormont, symbolises the fact that Northern Ireland is essentially Carson’s creation. By contrast, Redmond remains an almost forgotten man in nationalist Ireland, despite the fact that the parliamentary democracy that emerged in Dublin is far closer to his dream of an independent, tolerant, Ireland than the visions of the 1916 leaders. It is also arguable that Redmond would be far happier with the way history turned out for what is now the Irish Republic, than Carson was with his creation. Redmond’s big regret would be that partition has divided the island for a century and is likely to do so for many years to come. Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1906 to 1916, who worked so closely with Redmond to try and deliver Home Rule, noted in his memoirs published in the 1920s how the young men who formed the government of the Free State did not appreciate ‘how they had entered into their inheritance by the efforts and great personal sacrifice and risks of that Irish Parliamentary Party which they have since flung upon the scrap-heap of history. Politicians seldom desire gratitude and never get it’. In Redmond’s case that is certainly true. Stephen Collins has recently retired as political editor of The Irish Times, to which he continues to contribute on a regular basis. Aristotelian Interpretations, Fran O’Rourke (Kildare: Irish Academic Press, 2016), 366 pages. Who is the greatest philosopher who ever lived? Many might hesitate to answer such a question, Fran O’Rourke does not. For him Aristotle is, without any doubt, the holder of that title. This book substantiates the claim. Summer 2018: Book Reviews Studies • volume 107 • number 426 234 The magnanimity and comprehensiveness of Aristotle’s dictum that ‘every realm of nature is marvellous’ sums up O’Rourke’s conviction and describes also his own connaturality with his hero. The maxim also serves as an underlying and unifying motif for this volume of original essays. Aristotelian Interpretations considers themes of perennial interest, offering new avenues of interpretation, illustrating how Aristotle’s thought may be creatively applied to a variety of timeless and contemporary questions. Each chapter concerns itself with central themes of metaphysics, aesthetics, political anthropology, ethics and epistemology. The result is a panoramic survey of Aristotle’s philosophy showing that, far from being just a figure of historical interest living over two thousand years ago, this remarkable thinker provides us with a vision which is applicable and relevant. While many of Aristotle’s empirical presuppositions are obviously out of date, science having taken such gigantic strides in the meantime, his deeper intuitions and unrivalled wisdom have perennial validity. Aristotle’s philosophy, as well as being comprehensive and profound, is noted for its common sense, its belief in and reverence for nature, and its overall confidence in the human mind’s capacity to discover and to formulate truth. Those who might find it somewhat flat, dull and forbidding might risk a preliminary glance through Aristotle’s Ethics; reminding themselves that such an apparent banality is the result of the total absorption of such thought into our cultural bloodstream. Aristotle’s books have become the warp and woof of life as we were born into it. They formed the shape and fabric of the cultural shelter woven around us. That is why this book by Fran O’Rourke is such a godsend. ‘We are the only animals who can be happy . . . Morality and virtue are personal . . . and virtue depends upon ourselves’, this author tells us in his introduction, echoing the master he has been studying all..." @default.
