A kind and humble patriot

Professor Oliver Friggieri passed away on Saturday 21 November 2020. The state will, rightly, honour him with a funeral. He was a marvellous man whose work spans different disciplines. In my Talking Point for The Times of Malta (24.XI.2020), I pay a short tribute to him and write about why his work is significant in the field of politics and political analysis:

"His work and his ethic help us imagine an alternative public sphere in this mould. He was always respectful and he is mourned by all – regardless of political creed or persuasion. Though death has put an end to his writings, his legacy will be defined in the years to come and his work will keep on challenging us."

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
