The Transcendental Method Of Bernhard Lonergan

Di: Ava

Especially in his Method in Theology, Lonergan explains that only in undergoing a series of conversions-intellectual, moral and religious-culminating in the experience of the love of God (Rom 5,5) by obeying the transcendental precepts that The focus is predominantly on Part One of Lonergan’s Method in Theology, which centers on Method. Who is the expected readership of the book? The expected readership includes ministers of religion, parish priests, parish associates, and school chaplains who guide faith communities. What cultural challenges are addressed in the book? I offer a clear and careful statement of exactly what Lonergan was up to in Insight with regards to those parts in which his strategy appears so Kantian. Though sometimes labeled a “ transcendental Thomist, “ Lonergan is not to be thought of as beating Kant at his own game. The difference in strategy is to be seen in Lonergan’s avoidance of the idea that knowing must

Ibid., p. 282. Lonergan wrote: “Where other methods aim at meeting the exigences and exploiting the opportunities proper to particular fields, transcendental method is concerned with meeting the exigences and exploiting the opportunities presented by the human mind itself. One weighty aspect of Lonergan’s achievement is his insistence on empirical method. He holds that a basis in evidence is a requisite for “the fruitful unfolding of the anticipations of intelligence” (Lonergan, 1957/1992, p. 93). Crediting as valid evidence both the data of the senses and the data of consciousness, that is, both outer and inner experience, his

Bernard J. F. Lonergan Published by University of Toronto Press for Lonergan Research Institute of Regis College, Toronto Abstract The chapter on religion in Bernard Lonergan’s Method in Theology is a rich compilation of many ideas that were important to his thought throughout his career. It is at once a theory of ‘genuine’ religion, a theory of the distortions of such religion, and an expansion of his theology of grace into a wider ecumenical multi-religious or universalist context, to name a few. This When an individual conforms to or uses the transcendental precepts, the special methods that one tries to clarify are identified to contain the norms in it hence using the transcendental precepts will help one to go beyond what is empirical. For Lonergan, before these precepts are formulated and expressed in words, they serve a function for

Transcendental method is therefore indispensable for establishing and formulating the various scientific methods, since it is the method immanent in the human mind. Insight can fairly be considered the thematization of this transcendental method, through—in an affirmative but not exclusive sense—the analysis of the methods of natural science.

While agreeing that theology Last April a volume on theological method by the Canadian Jesuit Bernard Lonergan came out in London and New York. Not only has its author’s name become widely known, but this, his most recent book, was long awaited. Indeed, in part it was already known and discussed. In his activities as a theologian over thirty-five years, Lonergan has always given special attention to

Lonergan does not mean that one must do all five of these each time one is engaged in deriving and developing general categories, but rather that these are five distinct and related ways in which transcendental or generalized empirical method – here called „the structure‟ – can function as the transcultural base of the general categories. Hence Lonergan placed religious experience of the gift of God’s love and religious conversion at the center of his new method in theology. McCarthy explains how, according to Lonergan, unrestricted being-in-love sublates, but does not replace, the unrestricted desires for knowledge and goodness that lead to authentic cultural

METHOD: Journal of Lonergan Studies is a blind, peer-reviewed academic journal, which aims to further interpretive, historical, and critical study of the philosophical, theological, economic, and methodological writings of Bernard Lonergan by promoting original research into the methodological foundations of the sciences and disciplines. This article examines critically Bernard Lonergan’s two-fold tran scendental foundational proposal in light of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s pri vate language argument with a view towards providing a viable option to Lonergan’s understanding of the relationship between religious experi ence and language. It contends that Lonergan’s transcendental founda tion, the success of which Especially in his Method in Theology, Lonergan explains that only in undergoing a series of conversions -intellectual, moral and religious – culminating in the experience of the love of God (Rom 5,5) by obeying the transcendental precepts that

The method employs a transformative phenomenological approach and was developed using the philosophy of Bernard Lonergan.

It stresses the importance of what it calls foundational theological questions, employing the thought of the Jesuit philosopher and theologian Bernard Lonergan to define this

The Transcendental Method Fr. Lonergan begins his explanation of his method in the following way: First, we shall appeal to the successful sciences to form a preliminary notion of method. Secondly, we shall go behind the procedures of the natural sciences to something both more general and more fundamental, namely, the procedures of the human mind. “A method is a normative pattern of recurrent and related operations yielding cumulative and progressive results,” (Lonergan 1973: 4). This method for Lonergan is transcendental, precisely because it goes beyond the confines of the knowing subject.

This paper explores the implications of Bernard J. F. Lonergan’s philosophy in the field of education, positing that his transcendental framework can provide deep insights into the educational process.

For Lonergan, it is a cumulative achievement of acts such as experiencing, understanding and judging. Spurred by this Lonergan’s claim, this thesis explicitly studies Lonergan’s epistemology using critical analysis as its method. While Coreth, by his use of the transcendental method, carries out a brilliant deduction (moving from the reality of the question to the horizon of being as its ultimate a priori condition), Lonergan, for his part, tries to formulate the relation between the horizon of being and human consciousness as it is actuated on the intellectual level.

ABSTRACT Bernard Lonergan, Jesuit philosopher and theologist, wrote about present cultural implications. He observed that questions are natural expressions of human intelligence, not flowing because individual person is trained to do so, but are human manifestation of knowledge willing. Briefly, authors of this article present Lonergan’s proposal related with Transcendental
