This is the first book to bring a philosophical lens to issues of
socio-political and cultural importance in twenty-first century
Ireland. While the social, political, and economic landscape of
contemporary Ireland has inspired extensive scholarly debate both
within and well beyond the field of Irish Studies, there is a
distinct lack of philosophical voices in these discussions. The aim
of this volume is to enrich the fields of Philosophy and Irish
Studies by encouraging a manifestly philosophical exploration of
contemporary issues and concerns. The essays in this volume
collectively address diverse philosophical questions on
contemporary Ireland by exploring a variety of themes, including:
diaspora, exile, return; women's bodies and autonomy; historic
injustices and national healing; remembering and commemoration;
institutionalization and containment; colonialism and Ireland as
"home"; conflict and violence; Northern Ireland and the peace
process; nationalism, patriotism, and masculinities; ethnicity,
immigration, and identity; and translation, art and culture.
Philosophical Perspectives on Contemporary Ireland marks a
significant contribution to contemporary theorizations of Ireland
by incorporating both Irish and transatlantic perspectives. It will
appeal to a broad audience of scholars and advanced students
working in philosophy, Irish Studies, feminist theory, history,
legal studies, and literary theory. Beyond academia, it will also
engage those interested in contemporary Ireland from policy and
civil society perspectives.
