Perverted Politics: A few Thoughts for the Time
- Publisher : William Blackwood & Sons
- Published In : Edinburgh & London
Description:
John Tyndall (1820-1893) was an Irish physicist renowned for his research on diamagnetism, infrared radiation, and the physical properties of air. By the 1880s, he had become one of the most outspoken scientific critics of Irish Home Rule. In this pamphlet, published during a period of intense constitutional turmoil, Tyndall, writing as an Irish Protestant Unionist intellectual, condemns what he viewed as the moral and intellectual decline of British politics. He warns that yielding to nationalist or sectarian demands would undermine the integrity of the United Kingdom.
