Prof. Giorgio Buccellati: The Impact of Wholeness and the Outer Limits of Freedom
Prof. Giorgio Buccellati, Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at the University of California, Los Angeles, presented the 2015 McGivney Lectures, "The Four Republics." Starting from his fifty years' expertise as a historian and field archaeologist of Ancient Near Eastern civilizations, his series of three lectures discussed the origins and development of human community:

They were conditioned by factors that pertain to the way in which perception and reason interact with the world around us, and the way in which the group mediates the relationship of the individual to the absolute.

Long before Plato’s classical definition, we can identify three time-bound 'republics,' i.e., three very distinct, though not mutually exclusive, modes of articulating the bond of solidarity that holds the group together – three republics that have conditioned human history ever since. And beyond time, there lurks a fourth republic, barely documentable historically, yet arguably central to their very nature as the final target of a shared trajectory."
