Summary

Plato's "The Complete Works of Plato" serves as a comprehensive compilation of the philosophical insights and dialogues that have shaped Western thought. This extensive anthology features seminal texts such as "The Republic," "Phaedrus," and "Symposium," showcasing Plato's distinctive prose and dialectical method. His works traverse diverse themes, including ethics, politics, metaphysics, and epistemology, all couched within a Socratic questioning framework that provokes critical reflection. The literary style is marked by clarity, depth, and philosophical rigor, making it essential not only for scholars but also for general readers intrigued by the foundational issues of existence and knowledge. Plato, a pivotal figure in ancient philosophy, was profoundly influenced by his teacher Socrates and the tumultuous political landscape of Athens. His experiences during the Peloponnesian War and subsequent events led him to seek answers beyond the superficial understanding of ethics and governance. Through his writings, Plato sought to cultivate a more just society, articulating ideals that resonate through centuries, shaping perspectives not only in philosophy but in art and politics. For anyone yearning to engage with the foundational texts of Western philosophy, "The Complete Works of Plato" is indispensable. It invites readers to not just learn but to actively participate in a dialogue'Äîone that transcends time and space, challenging them to ponder fundamental questions about the nature of truth, justice, and the human condition.

    PERCEPTIONS consists of short pieces, poetry or poem-like essays, written over a period of thirty years, on various serious and reflective topics, but with some humorous and occasional work too. As in Gillian Bickley's previous collections, the subjects occur internationally: this time, in the Pyrenees, Nigeria, Hawai'i, Albania, as well as Hong Kong. Taken as a whole, this fifth poetry collection recognizes the need for shelter and survival, the desire for love, for achievement, for feelings of self-worth, for objects on which to bestow reciprocal affection and the search for high-order achievements beyond the self. Reaching beyond this, Perceptions considers the needs of other species, our responsibilities towards them and the fragile environment that we all share. 
"The poignance of her many perceptions crowds upon us." -- Stuart Christie 
"This collection addresses universal topics in a thoughtful manner using common sense that most readers can appreciate. – Cairns Media Magazine

    The Federal government of the U.K. of Great Britain and Ireland segmented Ireland into 2 independent polities: Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. The Federal Government of Ireland Act 1920 was handed down May third, 1921. Both parts were to stay inside the UK, and the Act included arrangements for supreme reunification. 
Northern Ireland was established with a devolved federal government and stayed a part of the U.K. Most occupants of Southern Ireland didn't recognize the self-proclaimed Irish Republic, choosing to recognize the larger Northern Ireland. The area of Southern Ireland withdrew from the U.K. and ended up being the Irish Free State, which is today the Republic of Ireland, following the Anglo-Irish Treaty. 
In this book, we will look at further details of the partition of Ireland.
