Product Description
The book challenges the historical colonial trope—promoted by figures like Matthew Arnold and Benjamin Disraeli—which framed the "Celtic" or Irish mind as purely poetic, emotional, and imaginative, yet inherently incapable of disciplined philosophy, science, or political order. Kearney and his contributing essayists gather and trace a rich tradition of Irish thinkers, scientists, philosophers, and writers to prove that Ireland possesses a rigorous and multi-faceted intellectual history.
ORIGINALLY 1984, Wolfhound Press.
