Richard Kearney

Postnationalist Ireland (eBook, PDF)

Politics, Culture, Philosophy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Richard Kearney proposes the overcoming of this 'sovereignty neurosis', requiring not only a recasting of the political identity of Ireland, but also a re-imagining of its cultural, literary and philosophical heritage. Only then can the political knots of nationalism and national identity be unravelled.
