Irish Phenomenology: Thinking with Heidegger and Beyond

This book brings together leading Irish phenomenologists to explore how Ireland’s geography, history, and cultural traditions shape phenomenological inquiry. Taking a phenomenological approach, this book weaves together investigations into Ireland’s island geography, traditions of poetry and hospitality, colonial traumas, and even contemporary issues such as autism. It also situates Irish thought within a broader philosophical heritage from John Scotus Eriugena to contemporary debates on phenomenology and metaphysics. It traces a material history of literary inscription from the ancient Ogham script to the digital age. These contributions offer deep insights into both Ireland itself and the distinctive ways phenomenology has developed through its cultural and historical landscape.
