Michael H. McCarthy has carefully studied the writings of Bernard
Lonergan (Canadian philosopher-theologian, 1904-1984) for over
fifty years. In his 1989 book, The Crisis of Philosophy, McCarthy
argued for the superiority of Lonergan's distinctive philosophical
project to those of his analytic and phenomenological rivals. Now
in Authenticity as Self-Transcendence: The Enduring Insights of
Bernard Lonergan, he develops and expands his earlier argument with
four new essays, designed to show Lonergan's exceptional relevance
to the cultural situation of late modernity. The essays explore and
appraise Lonergan's cultural mission: to raise Catholic philosophy
and theology to meet the intellectual challenges and standards of
his time.
