China?s Climate Charade: A Green Fa?ade for Economic Supremacy Wed May 07, 2025 07:00 | Tilak Doshi
China's claim to 'climate leadership' is a geopolitical manoeuvre to counter Trump's narrative, not a pledge of emissions cuts, says Dr Tilak Doshi. Expecting China to join the West's economic self-sabotage is delusional.

Dublin - Event Notice
Thursday January 01 1970 Lectures: 'Regulating For Freedom' at Dublin Public Libraries

event notice
 Monday October 06, 2003 17:39 by redjade
Regulating For Freedom REGULATING FOR FREEDOM
This series of twelve lectures explores the nature of human freedom. A number of academics authors, and journalists, will pose a succession of questions in Dublin Public Libraries throughout October, November and December 2003.
The lectures will examine the tension between collective and individual identity. Does the group provide the memory and rigour necessary to civilize? Is freedom only experienced individually? Does the group liberate or oppress individual members? Five sources of group identity will be discussed: gender, family, nationality, political ideology and religion.
In addition, lectures will examine equality legislation, directly addressing the paradox of regulating for freedom.

Jump To Comment: 3 2 1Is it a purpose made toe-nail clipper? Or would it be a normal pair of nail scissors? Or does "moi" have talons in place of graceful little nails and need to use more serious implements like perhaps garden shears?
Anyone attending is expected to wear a blue shirt.
Seriously though, I don't see any of these lecturers as being at all progressive, other than perhaps Dick Spicer (purely on the humanist issue).
All of them seem to me to be revisionist on the national question. I suppose these lectures will attract the type of posers who think the like of Kevin Myers and Eoghan Harris are intellectuals.
I think I might have more interesting things to do on those days, like cutting my toenails.
Three from the Sunday Indo???? Anybody have any more details of how this happended? Or they sponsoring the event?
