Inhaltsangabe

Explore the political writings and speeches of Pádraic Pearse, a fearless voice for Irish self‑direction. This edition gathers Pearse’s provocative thoughts on education, national identity, and resistance, offering a window into the ideas that shaped a nation.

Pearse argues that the English “education system” in Ireland harms rather than helps, framing schooling as a tool that degrades human potential. He contrasts cold machinery with a living, growing society, urging freedom for schools, teachers, and pupils, and calling for culture, religion, literature, art, and science to nurture a true Irish spirit.
