Makarios III

Archbishop primate, primate & 1st President of Cyprus (1913–1977)

Makarios III made a career in philosophy at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.

The record lists Makarios III as Archbishop primate, primate & 1st President of Cyprus (1913–1977).

Makarios III was born in 1913. His recorded nationality is Cyprus. He was educated at Boston University.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.

Makarios III is described as politician, cleric and deacon.

The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.

Formal recognition came in the shape of the Grand Cross Special Class of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Working from Cyprus shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Death came in 1977, at 64. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
