This biographical dictionary of Irish philosophers is a by-product
of a series of larger biographical dictionaries of British
philosophers published in recent years by Thoemmes Press. The first
of these larger dictionaries was the Dictionary of
Eighteenth-Century British Philosophers (1999), followed in
subsequent years by equivalent works on seventeenth and
nineteenth-century British philosophers. Each of these dictionaries
included Irish-born philosophers who were considered British not
only because of the political links that had been forged
historically between Britain and Ireland but also because of the
dual or hybrid nationality of those who belonged to the Anglo-Irish
ascendancy. It was partly because of the problems that surrounded
the inclusion of Irish entries in the existing 'British'
dictionaries that the need for a special dictionary dedicated to
Irish philosophers was recognized. This dictionary will include
many of those who have already appeared in the 'British'
dictionaries, but also many who have been left out of the existing
dictionaries, either because they were too early to be included in
the seventeenth-century dictionary, or too late to be included in
the nineteenth-century dictionary, or simply because their
obscurity was such that they had not come to the attention of the
editors of the other published dictionaries.
