Great to see former PhD student Aengus Daly outlining the influence of philosophy in @independent.ie www.independent.ie/business/in-...
This Working Life – ‘Philosophy has had such a massive influence on society, it’s fascinating’
In public places, when I see everyone on their phones, I find the loss of shared reality sad. I’m not on social media and don’t feel I’m missing out.
