Bernard Lonergan is one of the greatest Catholic intellectuals of
the twentieth century. His writings cover an enormous range of
topics including philosophy, theology, science, history, art,
education and economics. His collected works, currently being
published by University of Toronto Press, will number over twenty
volumes. However, for most people he is best known for two works,
Insight: A Study of Human Understanding and Method in Theology. If
these were the only two works he ever wrote, his reputation would
be undiminished, marking him as a unique mind capable of the most
profound philosophical and theological analyses. Perhaps because of
the profundity of his writings he nonetheless remains an
intellectual terra incognita for many people. He has a well
deserved reputation for being difficult to read, particularly if
one's starting point is Insight. It is not that his writings are
particularly dense or obscure, but his appeal to mathematical and
scientific examples can leave an unprepared mind floundering. His
writing assumes a reader who is at the 'level of the times',
abreast of the scientific and cultural achievements of the day. At
the same time, many have found that Lonergan's work invites and
challenges them precisely to reach to that level. They discover
that the engagement bears such fruit that it is well worth the
effort and provides a sure grounding for the widest possible
variety of intellectual and other human endeavours. The essays
contained in this work demonstrate this wide application of
Lonergan's work, covering three general areas - philosophical,
theological and what one might call broadly cultural.
