Almost 100 years after the day Dickson was made National Librarian, join Neil Mackenzie KC, the present Keeper of the Advocates Library, to learn about Dickson's professional life in Parliament House and his essential role in the foundation of the National Library. Dickson was a careful recorder of life in Parliament House during his time there from the late Victorian era to before World War One. He described the struggle to find the right home for the cherished collections that the Advocates could no longer afford to keep. Dickson understood the fragile and timeless nature of the collections. This informed his actions to preserve and develop them for the benefit of the nation and academia. Dickson's enduring influence persists beneath the surface of both the Advocates Library and the National Library of Scotland. About the speaker Neil Mackenzie KC is Keeper of the Advocates Library. He was admitted as a member of Faculty in June 1999, took silk in 2019, and became Keeper in 2022.

About the event Global law programs take largely for granted that law is about the self-legislation of human collectives located in a stable natural environment rendered available for the realization of human ends. Catastrophic environmental degradation calls for a critical reconfiguration of collective self-legislation, a reconfiguration that, amongst others, undoes the doctrinal split between private law and public law, on the one hand, and acknowledges the primacy of obligation over rights, on the other. Initiatives to ecologize property and to resocialize corporations build on these two transformations of our legal and political imaginary, intimating a novel concept of lawmaking as decentered self-legislation by collectives composed of humans and other-than-humans, which, joined together in relations of mutual dependency, strive to realize more-than-human ends: geopolities. The neologism’s Greek root, geos, suggests that global law programs must become terrestrial if their claim to approach law globally is to be credible and relevant as a response to the Anthropocene. About the speaker Hans Lindahl holds the chair of legal philosophy at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, and a chair of global law at the Law Department of Queen Mary University of London. He obtained law and philosophy degrees at the Universidad Javeriana, in Bogotá, Colombia, before taking a doctorate at the Higher Institute of Philosophy of the University of Louvain (Belgium) in 1994. His primary areas of research are legal and political philosophy. Lindahl has published numerous articles in these fields. His monograph, Fault Lines of Globalization: Legal Order and the Politics of A-Legality , was published with Oxford University Press in 2013 (Italian and Spanish translations; a Japanese translation forthcoming in 2024). A follow-up monograph, Authority and the Globalisation of Inclusion and Exclusion , has been published with Cambridge University Press in 2018 (Portuguese translation; a Spanish forthcoming in 2023). His current research explores how the challenges raised by the Anthropocene demand reconsidering key features of the ways in which modern legal and political philosophy have conceptualized legal order. This project draws on and radicalizes his earlier research on issues germane to globalization processes, such as the concept of legal order in a global setting; a politics of boundary-setting alternative to both cosmopolitanism and communitarianism; transformations of legal authority and political representation. In dealing with these topics Lindahl draws on (post-)phenomenology and theories of collective action of analytical provenance, while also seeking to do justice to the nitty-gritty of positive law.

Join us for a discussion with the 'Witches of Scotland' podcasters Dr Claire Mitchell, KC, and Dr Zoe Venditozzi as they discuss their book, 'How to Kill a Witch: A Guide for the Patriarchy'. Women in Scotland in the 1500s faced the very real threat of witch trial. Witch hunts ripped through the country for over 150 years, with more than 4,000 accused of witchcraft. The fate for the accused was strangulation, burning, or some other forms of grizzly excecution. This particularly rampant persecution of women was unique to Scotland. In order to understand why this happened here, Dr Claire Mitchell, KC, and Dr Zoe Venditozzi have researched the entire process, from identification to accusation, torture to, confession, execution and beyond. With characteristically sharp wit and a sense of outrage, they attempt to inhabit the minds of the persecutors, to reveal why the Patriarchy went to such extraordinary lengths to silence women, and how this legally sanctioned victimisation proliferated in Scotland and around the world. About the speakers Leading human rights lawyer Claire Mitchell, KC, and writer, Zoe Venditozzi formed the 'Witches of Scotland' campaign with the aim of shining a light on the historic injustice of the Witch Trials. As a result, on International Women's Day, 2022, the First Minister of Scotland issued a formal state apology - the first time in 300 years there had been any formal recognition of those who were most wrongly accused. In 2022, Claire and Zoe were made Doctors of Laws by the University of Dundee in 2022 in recognition of their work.

Fire in the Temple Fire in the Temple One of the most influential spiritual teachers of the 20th century, joins with the Archangel Michaél to confront mysterious demons in 1923 Europe, as the Nazi party is beginning to emerge. “I want to kindle every human being to become a flame, shining its fiery essence from within.” Crafted from actual events and discourse, Fire in the Temple , dramatizes Rudolf Steiner’s final months and brings to the stage the people around him, including two extraordinary women, Marie Steiner von Sivers and Dr. Ita Wegman, both of whom stood by him until the very day of his death – and beyond. Their personal conflicts, hopes and sorrows are sensitively portrayed in this rigorously researched drama. Laurie Portocarrero and Glen Williamson, with eurythmists Sea-Anna Vasilas and Zachary Dolphin, developed this play – through numerous revisions and staged readings – for several years before director John McManus staged a full-cast professional production in September, 2023, in Copake and Spring Valley, NY, and in Kimberton Hills, PA. The director and playwright tightened the script to a dynamic ensemble performance. Previous readings of the script in Copake, NY; Beaver Run, PA; Los Angeles; Santa Cruz; Sacramento; Boulder and Denver; Hudson, NY; Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont had drawn profound and encouraging responses and anticipation of the full production. Audience responses to Fire in the Temple readings “—meticulously researched—artistically crafted—stunningly performed. . . a powerful feeling for the weaving of destiny.”– Gloria Kemp , Waldorf-education consultant “Truly amazing. I sat mesmerized. . . [it] was so full and the images captivating. I am still feeling the effects from it. . . beautiful experience. It will be with me for some time!!!” – Diane Prusha , Actress,Shakespeare & Company, Lenox, MA “It was deeply moving…wonderfully written…and the same questions live today… With tears I’m asking: Will we awake?” – Irena Valujeva , Camphill USA “True and compassionate writing.” “I knew all of this, but this play brings it all together in a vivid and moving story.” “The message, that Christ’s light combats the forces of darkness, comes through loud and clear.” “Now I feel I’ve really met Rudolf Steiner.” “Truly redemptive.” “This needs to be seen.” and from our team . . . “It is an extraordinary play that has been enthusiastically received as an epic of superb storytelling during its numerous two- and four-person play-reading performances over the past three years. Now, our task is to turn this successful play-reading epic into a dramatic piece of theater with a full ensemble cast.”– John McManus , Director “I believe that artistic activity, through this play, can greatly enhance our experience of these momentous historical events and relationships.”– Barbara Renold , Director and Producerof Rudolf Steiner’s Mystery Dramas Information Source: Anthroposophy in Edinburgh | eventbrite
