Greetings from beyond the shores of the isle!
I would like to compliment you on your very informative website.
Should your readership be interested, I would like to invite them to visit my humble website, "Philosophy from a Sacred Hearth of ireland" where they may enjoy contemplating hopefully some worthwhile ideas and even perhaps join in the Forum discussions.
All are welcome!
Cordially,
Richard of ire

Philosophy: Think About It
In terms of Irish philosophers, I think everyone has their own favorite. For me, no one comes to mind quicker than James Creed Meredith (d. 1942), credited with the superb 1911 translation of Kant's Critique of Aesthetic Judgement. In the analytical index of his famous translation, Meredith asked the pertinent question concerning Irish history and society, furnishing his own characteristically prescient response:
"What do you call a pretty girl in Ireland?"
"A tourist."

Re: Philosophy: Think About It
I wonder what would the bright beautiful girls of the isle of Eire have called the Right Worshipful Brother Sir James Creed Meredith, LL.D., D.G.M. on the afternoon of the 24th April 1900 in Dublin?
Might they not have had some serious questions about his sense of aesthetic judgement even with regard to tourists?
