In Introducing Moriarty Canadian theologian and academic Michael W. Higgins compiles the essential writings of Irish philosopher and mystic, John Moriarty. This distillation of Moriarty's texts on ecology, mysticism and spirituality is a perfect introduction to the work of this complex and, at times, esoteric philosopher. Higgins' commentary provides an excellent guide to one of the country's most enigmatic modern thinkers and is an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in Irish philosophy and spirituality.

Fintan O'Toole
"In a land of extraordinary literary talent, I think John Moriarty is Ireland's most important writer since Samuel Beckett.'"
