The mission of Eriugena Review is to provide a platform for research and critical analysis of Irish history, politics, culture, and economics. Our focus is on publishing original, high-quality articles that contribute to ongoing debates over Ireland and its place in the world. Eriugena Review is specifically interested in work that examines the increasingly fraught Irish-American relationship.
Founded by alumni and friends of the University of Notre Dame, with strong ties to the Irish-American community, we are committed to promoting interdisciplinary scholarship that engages with a wide range of perspectives and approaches. Our goal is to foster a vibrant intellectual community and to promote greater diversity of thought in discussions of Irish culture and society.

"Johannes (c.800–c.877), who signed himself as “Eriugena” in one manuscript, and who was referred to by his contemporaries as “the Irishman” is the most significant Irish intellectual of the early monastic period. He is generally recognized to be both the most outstanding philosopher (in terms of originality) of the Carolingian era and of the whole period of Latin philosophy stretching from Boethius to Anselm."
-Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
"For authority proceeds from true reason, but reason certainly does not proceed from authority. For every authority which is not upheld by true reason is seen to be weak, whereas true reason is kept firm and immutable by her own powers and does not require to be confirmed by the assent of any authority."
-John Scotus Eriugena, Periphyseon Bk. 1, ch. 69.
