Irish Philosophy"For Murdoch, the most crucial moral virtue was a kind of attentiveness to detail, a wise, trained capacity for vision, which could see what was really going on in a situation and respond accordingly.

Irish PhilosophyHer "Castle Rackrent" (1800) - "is a gothic-satirical portrait of Anglo-Irish abuses ‘before the year 1782’. Edgeworth was the first Anglo-Irish writer to adopt the voice of an Irish catholic outsider as her narrator" (<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DIB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIB</a>)If Rackrent is what went wrong, "Ormond" (1817) is an account of what might go right. Edgeworth looks towards a modern Ireland. She leans toward utilitarianism, as her writing against slavery shows.
