Patrick Masterson

As Professor of Philosophy at University College Dublin, Patrick Masterson enjoyed teaching both young full-time and mature part-time students. As president of both University College Dublin and, later, the European University Institute in Florence, he acquired broad, first-hand, and practical experience of issues that can convulse the tranquillity of the groves of academe! Besides his many academic publications, St Chinian University Comes of Age is his second novel. He spends his time now between Dublin and a village close-by St Chinian in France.
