    Hi Everyone,

    I would like to learn from You about irish philosophy. By "irish" I don't mean off course "created in gaelic" or "created by irish author". Is there a concept, a thought, an idea that you could describe as irish because it is based on,
    or revolves around cultural values and historical circumstances that could be described as irish in particular?

    The world is the exact same,just a little diffrent here and there so more than likely will be something similar to yours i.e. as in all the diffrent variations of it.

    One could argue that the active use of "slippage" is something that recurs in irish "philosophy", in the general sense. What I mean is something akin to a "playfulness" with concepts, words and literature which, formally, has more in common with what is often referred to here as "modern continental philosophy" than with our nearest neighbours traditions in Philosophy.
