\n\nThough often overlooked in discussions of the Enlightenment\, Ireland was a vibrant centre for intellectuals of many stripes. Jonathan Swift\, Edmund Burke\, George Berkeley\, and many others made lasting contributions to literature\, philosophy\, politics\, and science. How did the turbulent political times of eighteenth-century Ireland affect this intellectual landscape? Is there something distinctively Irish about this writing? \;We discuss the thought and times of this remarkable group of thinkers.
