This website is a continuation of www.peterbrooke.org.uk A great deal of material under much the same headings can still be found at the earlier site. Some of the earlier material will over time be transferred here or to my other websites -
British Values and Labour values.
Material relating to the twentieth century Cubist painter ALBERT GLEIZES and his school
More general material relating to the visual arts and to the reasons why they should be taken seriously, which I take to be, in the broadest sense of the word, 'religious'
Largely concerned with the theological implications of politics and with the many circumstances in which religious and political beliefs interact.
New items (June 2023): Latest episode in the new set of articles in the Solzhenitsyn- Russia series on the development of a Ukrainian sense of national identity. Also Martin Heidegger and the New World Order Looks at the influence of Heidegger in Iran and in Russia in the light of the apparent emergence of a 'multipolar world'
