This collection provides the first in-depth, interdisciplinary and
over-arching review of higher education in Ireland, situating
higher education within the socio-cultural, political and
historical context of the country over the past 40 years and the
development of European and national policies.
This volume is dedicated to Wittgenstein's remarks on Frazer's The
Golden Bough and represents a collaboration of scholars within
philosophy and the study of religion. For the first time,
specialized investigations of the philological and philosophical
aspects Wittgenstein's manuscripts are combined with the outlook of
philosophical anthropology and ritual studies. In the first section
of the book Wittgenstein's remarks are presented and discussed in
light of his Nachlass and relevant lecture-notes by G.E. Moore,
reproduced in this book as facsimiles. The second section deals
with the cultural and philosophical background of the early
remarks, while the third section focuses specifically on the
general problem of understanding as being a main issue of these
remarks. The fourth section concentrates on the philosophical
development characteristic of the later remarks. Finally, the fifth
section reviews Wittgenstein's opposition to Frazer, and the
ramifications of his remarks, in light of ritual studies. The book
is intended for scholars in philosophy and religious studies, as
well as for the general reader with an academic interest in
philosophy and the philosophy of religion.

Professor J. Valentine Rice, erstwhile Chair of Education at
Trinity College Dublin (1966-2005) to whom this volume of essays is
dedicated in memoriam, engaged in the richness and diversity of
education debate during the thirty-nine years that he held his
academic post. His interests in the philosophy of education,
Catholic education, human growth and guidance and the Irish
language and culture are reflected in the essays by his former
colleagues and students presented here. Whether it is the teaching
of Irish, the involvement of the churches in education, the points
system or the managerialism and "edunomics" of the universities,
educational debate is vigorous and often passionate. The diversity
of the themes of the contributions seems, on a first viewing, to
indicate the lack of a common theme. On closer reflection, however,
Val Rice's lifelong commitment to a view of education that must
always be broad enough to encompass the many ways in which it aids
genuine human flourishing, shines through. These essays are
examples of the ways in which colleagues and students have
responded to his influence as teacher, mentor, advocate and friend
as they continue to work and engage in the broad field of
education.
