If you thought only Greece and Germany produced world-class philosophy, think again. Joe Humphreys looks at the groundbreaking work of Irish philosophers from Donegal ‘freethinker’ John Toland and his eighteenth-century rival George Berkeley to author Iris Murdoch and Kerry ‘eco-poet’ John Moriarty.
Humphreys, who writes the weekly Unthinkable philosophy column in The Irish Times and is the author of several books on religion and philosophy, examines how these and other thinkers answer key questions facing us today.
