Complete Bibliography of Lonergan Studies

Dissertations & Theses

This dissertation is an experiment in metaethics: an attempt to reflect critically on the actual performance of ethical reflection. As transcendental reflection, it seeks to clarify and differentiate the operations of the subject who is doing ethics, as the normative foundation of ethical reflection and action. Two basic movements interlock here. The first employs Lonergan's G.E.M. as a reflexive technique to articulate a foundational account of ethical intentionality disclosing the normative order of conscious intentionality of the human subject as conscience. The second proposes that such self-appropriation can formulate a methodical ethics capable of evaluating and transforming human behavior from the III stage of meaning as Lonergan speaks of it. Lastly, the broad lines of a "Third Stage Ethics" as a function of Authentic Subjectivity are traced.

Along with an introduction dealing with the evolution of Fr.Lonergan 's thought on that topic, it contains a few chapters on the notion of transcendence as implemented by the move of Insight chs. 1-19; a decision about the nature of the relation that occurs between love and transcendent knowledge according to Lonergan's general theory of relations; and some criticism of Lonergan's intentionality analysis as regards the critical foundations of transcendent knowledge.
