The Eternal Vision
For many years, the author has used his enormous collection of quotations (this anthology is only the tip of the iceberg!) with students in "Reflection Groups". Each week, 20 or 30 such groups meet at the University College chaplaincy for contemplation and discussion of a chosen theme. Beginning with quotations from the Bible, other sources are called upon to recollect the knowledge and wisdom of the past as well as present day insights. The aim is to enrich hearts and minds after the manner of Philippians 4:8, "Whatever is true...honourable...just...pure...lovely...gracious, think on these things".

Two Concepts of Rights and the Right to Education
Most rights theories hold that the same act of a person or group cannot be driven by both a right and a duty. This book introduces the theory of initial rights and derived rights, demonstrating that an act is often the result of both. The key idea is that individuals and collectives have the right to fulfill their duty. However, general rights, those people are born with, do not originate from any duty, meaning their choices are not dictated by duties. As a result, access to education is a right, not a duty. The theory of initial and derived rights can extend beyond education to explain broader social dynamics, such as the relationship between government and citizens. This book applies the t...

The Devil's General and Germany: Jekyll and Hyde
Both works in this volume - a play by Carl Zuckmayer (1896-1977) and an unusual contemporary study of Nazi Germany by Sebastian Haffner (1907-99) - bear testimony to the disturbing events that were to change German history in the aftermath of World War I. The abridged translation of The Devil's General, which was approved by Zuckmayer himself, is about a World War I flier who commits suicide as he comes to realize the unintended havoc he has wrought in his obsession to fly. Sebastian Haffner, whose real name was Raimund Pretzel (which was changed with the publication of Germany: Jekyll and Hyde), remained a controversial journalist all his life, working for both left-wing and right-wing journals. The work excerpted here was written in 1940 when Haffner, reared in a liberal tradition, was in a British detention camp as an enemy alien.
