The UCC Philosophical Society, also known as the 'Philosoph',[1] is the largest debating society at University College Cork, Ireland. The Philosoph was founded in 1850, making it the oldest society at UCC.[2] The society carries out a number of functions, including weekly debates with guest speakers, participating in debating competitions, running workshops for the students of UCC to develop their public speaking skills and running debating competitions and workshops for schoolchildren (including the Denny Schools Debating Competition). In the 1960s, the Nobel Peace Prize winner Seán MacBride described the Philosoph as "the centre of independent thought in Ireland".[3] House meetings of the society are held every Monday evening during UCC's term time.[4]

Former members

Seán Ó Riada was a former auditor of the society,[5][better source needed] and former presidents include Charles Haughey.[citation needed] Other former members include professor Kieran Healy of the University of Arizona.[citation needed] Journalist Brendan O' Connor was a former recording secretary.[citation needed]

Competitions

In addition to running internal debating competitions, the society funds and supports members in attending competitions elsewhere in Ireland and internationally.[citation needed] Intervarsity competitions in Ireland and the UK, in which the society participates, have included the UCD Vice-President's Cup, the Oxford Union and Cambridge Union Intervarsities and the National Law Debates in Galway.[citation needed] The society has also previously entered the John Smith Memorial Mace and the Irish Times competition.[citation needed]

Internationally, the society participates in the World Universities Debating Competition and the European Universities Debating Competition, and has had some success in international debating. For example, two UCC debaters members won the World University Debating Championship at Fordham University in 1986.[6]

The society also hosts competitions, and for example, was the venue for the World University Debating Championships in 1996 and in 2009.[7] The 2009 event was jointly hosted by UCC's Law Society and Philosophical Society.[8]

The Philosoph also hosts its own Inter-Varsity each December and previously hosted the Cork Invitational Intervarsity (IV).[citation needed]

Walls of Milan

The city of Milan, Italy, has had three different systems of defending walls. The oldest, the Roman walls, were developed in two stages: the first in the Republican era and the second in the Imperial era. The second wall system was realized in the Middle Ages (12th century), after the destruction of the city by Frederick I Barbarossa. Finally, the latest wall system was built by the Spanish rulers in the 16th century. While very little remains of these walls, their structure is clearly reflec...
