Beskrivning

In challenging us to be conscious of our own subjectivity, Bernard Lonergan set out an updated mode of Aristotelian epistemology that took insights from every major philosophical tradition of the modern era. This book explains how that unique positioning makes his ideas perfectly placed to bridge the divide between analytic and continental philosophy.Andrew Beards uses Lonergan’s approach not only to understand the many connections between analytic and continental traditions, but to engage with them in new and creative ways. Throughout, he puts Lonergan into conversation with other leading thinkers like St John Henry Newman, G. E. Moore, Friedrich Nietszche and L. M. Chauvet, drawing on Lonergan’s own direct engagement with their philosophies to underscore the wide-ranging significance of his transcendental method.

Recensioner i media

The breadth of Beards' engagement with 19th century and contemporary philosophers – from Newman to Heidegger, from Nietzsche to G. E. Moore and Gila Sher — demonstrates the depth of Bernard Lonergan's epistemic foundations. Aware of these depths, Beards is also aware of the heights to which Lonergan aspired and attained in connecting St. Thomas's explicit appreciation of theology as a science with the foundations he excavated and made explicit in the Verbum articles and Insight. Beards continues to be a trustworthy contemporary custodian of Lonergan's legacy.
