Donnellan Lectures

The Donnellan Lectures are a lecture series at Trinity College Dublin, instituted in 1794. The lectures were originally given under the auspices of the School of Hebrew, Biblical and Theological Studies. But since 1987 they have been run on a triennial basis by the Department of Philosophy^[1] and are no longer theological in nature. They were endowed from the estate of Anne Donnellan.^[2]
