This article examines the disputes amongst Irish Presbyterians about the teaching of moral philosophy by Professor John Ferrie in the college department of the Royal Belfast Academical Institution in the early nineteenth century and the substantive philosophical and theological issues that were raised. These issues have largely been ignored by Irish historians, but a discussion of them is of general relevance to historians of ideas as they illuminate a series of broader questions about the definition and development of Scottish philosophy. These are represented in the move from two philosophers who had strong connections with Irish Presbyterianism-Francis Hutcheson, the early eighteenth-century moral sense philosopher and theological moderate from County Down, and James McCosh, nineteenth-century exponent of modified Common Sense philosophy at Queen's College Belfast and a committed evangelical. In particular, this article addresses three important themes-the definition and character of 'the Scottish philosophy', the relationship between evangelicalism and Common Sense philosophy, and the process of development and adaptation that occurred in eighteenth-century Scottish thought during the first half of the nineteenth century.

No digas nada (Spanish Edition) Patrick Radden Keefe Reservoir Books, Madrid, 2020 Patrick Radden Keefe is an American journalist of Irish ancestry who worked on this story based on a visit to documentary repositories in Boston, from which he reconstructs a sort of memoir of the 30 years of the Northern Ireland conflict - often referred to in local journalistic jargon as the troubles - as well as chronicling the process that led to the Good Friday armistice of 1998, which decreed the end of hostilities and the beginning of Sinn Fein activity. It is also a chronicle of the political party built by Gerry Adams as a definitive replacement for the IRA army (to which Adams always denied his membership, which this book attempts to disprove), as well as an account not only of the difficult years, but also of the persistence to date of an unresolved conflict that would only be resolved with the annexation of Ulster (a territory of Northern Ireland still part of the United Kingdom) to the Republic of Ireland. ; No digas nada Patrick Radden Keefe Reservoir Books, Madrid, 2020 Patrick Radden Keefe es un periodista estadounidense de ancestros irlandeses que trabajó en esta historia basada en la visita a repositorios documentales obrantes en Boston, desde los cuales reconstruye una suerte de memorial sobre los 30 años del conflicto de Irlanda del Norte –que se suelen denominar en la jerga periodística local, the troubles o las dificultades-, además de historizar el proceso que llevaría al armisticio del Viernes Santo de 1998, que decretaría el fin de las hostilidades y el inicio de la actividad del Sinn Fein. Se trata asimismo de una crónica de ese partido político construido por Gerry Adams en reemplazo definitivo del ejército IRA (al cual Adams siempre negó su pertenencia, lo que este libro trata de desmentir) así como del relato no solo de los años difíciles, sino de la persistencia hasta ahora de una conflictividad no resuelta que solo se lograría con la anexión del Ulster (territorio de Irlanda del Norte todavía integrado al United Kingdom) a la república de Irlanda. ; No digas nada (Edição em Espanhol) Patrick Radden Keefe Reservoir Books, Madrid, 2020 Patrick Radden Keefe é um jornalista americano de ascendência irlandesa que trabalhou nesta história com base em uma visita a repositórios documentais em Boston, a partir da qual ele reconstrói uma espécie de memoir dos 30 anos do conflito da Irlanda do Norte - muitas vezes referidos no jargão jornalístico local como os problemas - bem como crônicas do processo que levou ao armistício da Sexta-feira Santa de 1998, que decretou o fim das hostilidades e o início da atividade do Sinn Fein.

In Belfast, Northern Ireland, annual bonfires and parades operate as political and cultural capital claims over a contested city.

Among Protestants in Northern Ireland, especially Presbyterians, there is a stronger tradition of individual clerics involved in politics than among Catholics. The tradition is traced over the last hundred years by Andrew Boyd in his Holy War in Belfast and is represented today by, for example, Ian Paisley and the Reverend Martin Smyth, head of the Orange Order, vice president of the Unionist Party and an important factor in the "loyalist" opposition to the White Paper. The three major Protestant groups are the Church of Ireland, which is in communion with the Church of England, the Presbyterians and the Methodists.
