There must be many unfortunate creatures in the Universe and, it can only be hoped that they will now take strength from his happy release and tell someone of their needs"; humor-"piece of Cod which passeth all understanding!"; poetic description-Soon they heard a "gentle low and thrumming noise, rather like the noise made by the lowest string of a double bass being stroked."

The Lockdown Papers is a miscellany of satire, reflection and analysis of Irish life over five decades from academic and columnist John Dillon. When Ireland went into lockdown in March 2020, the author availed of the down time provided to compile a selection of his social and political essays, ranging from his first interview with Kenya''s Jomo Kenyatta in 1963 to his take on the Greek financial crisis in 2012.Mainly taken from the pages of national newspapers for which he wrote over five decades, it also contains more philosophical reflections and personal essays that deliver a singular and often mischievous view of life that makes this compendium both thought provoking and amusing.A plum read for anybody stuck in 2021''s extended Covid lockdown, the author looks back at former dark times in Ireland and gives the reader a fair few laughs along the way.  In it, you''ll read his irreverent thoughts on GUBU, the various Tribunals, the Right to Life, fatherly bishops and many more issues that fired Irish passions in the eighties and nineties. John Dillon is Regius Professor of Greek (Emeritus) in Trinity College Dublin. Prior to that, after graduating from Oxford, he spent some years in Ethiopia, and was a member of the Classics Department of the University of California, Berkeley until 1980. His chief area of interest is the philosophy of Plato and the tradition deriving from him, but he has always had an interest in more popular forms of writing as well, together with a weakness for practical politics. He has penned and edited many academic books, more about which can be found on his website. His most recent book is a second edition of his literary novel, The Scent of Eucalyptus, published in 2019 by 451 Editions.  This is his first book of essays.

This book covers the major battles of the war, not all of them on the Western Front, through the experiences of the battalions of the York and Lancaster Regiment.

"Taking up the initial version of a work begun by one of the best connoisseurs of Plotinus in the English language, Henry Blumenthal, who died tragically in 1998, John Dillon, whose competence concerning the Platonic tradition is acknowledged by all, proposes this annotated translation of Ennead IV.3-IV.29. [It] contains, in elegant English illuminated by numerous notes, a mine of information on the productive and providential functions of the world soul according to Plotinus, and on the peregrinations and functions of the human soul." --Luc Brisson, Director of Research, Jean Pépin Centre, CNRS (France) "This is a volume to treasure, by two of the most authoritative contemporary voices on Neoplatonism. The translation succeeds in being both fluent and accurate while the commentary is exceptionally helpful in guiding the reader through the intricacies and obscurities of Plotinus' philosophy of the Soul."--Suzanne Stern-Gillet, Professor of Ancient Philosophy, University of Bolton "We could have no better guide to the thought of this complex but crucially important treatise in Plotinus' oeuvre than John Dillon, who is able to build on the legacy of the late Henry Blumenthal." --David T. Runia, Professorial Fellow, School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne "Dillon and Blumenthal offer us an authoritative new translation of one of Plotinus' most intricate and insightful writings on psychology. Their commentary guides us effectively through the maze of the author's complex argumentation, which concerns the nature of the soul, its relation to the body, its inner life and its passions." --Paul Kalligas, Assistant Professor of Ancient Philosophy, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens "Dillon and Blumenthal have produced a much needed, up-to-date translation of Plotinus' writings on soul, and an incisive commentary that portrays the aporetic approach to Plotinus' investigation as well as the ingenuity of his reasoning. For students and scholars alike, this commentary will likely become an essential accompaniment to Blumenthal's Plotinus' Psychology: His Doctrines of the Embodied Soul." --Danny Muñoz-Hutchinson, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, St. Olaf College
