Dissertations & Theses

This dissertation examines Bernard Lonergan's structured world view, emergent probability, as the appropriate context for understanding his ethical foundations in Insight, chapters six and eighteen, and in Method in Theology, chapter two, and for understanding these foundations within his account of the dynamic structure of history as developed in Insight, chapters seven and twenty. The contention throughout is that a precise grasp of the concepts underlying Lonergan's terms, "direct and inverse insights," "systematic and non-systematic relations," "probablility," "statistical and classical laws," "recurrent schemes," "emergence," "higher viewpoints" and "finality" are all essential to understanding his work in ethics and history and to understanding the role of religion in these fields.

Merkt, Joseph T. 'Sacra Doctrina' and Christian Eschatology: _A Test Case for a Study of Method and Content in the Writings of Thomas Aquinas. Catholic University of America, 1982.

Today, both Catholic and Protestant theologians are very deeply involved in a reexamination of theological method and in a renewal of the theology of hope. This dissertation sheds light on this contemporary quest by uncovering important historical antecedents in the writings of Thomas Aquinas. Answers will be given to these questions: 1) In what way are Thomas' methodic principles (sacra doctrina ut scientia) operative in the tracts on hope in his Commentary on The Sentences, the Summa contra Gentiles, the De Spe, the Summa theologiae and the Compendium theologiae? 2) Are these tracts on hope faithful to his methodic principles?

Slattery, Gabriel. The Process of Personal Development: A Critical Study of the Theories of Bernard Lonergan and Carl Rogers on Personal Development. University of Fribourg, Switzerland, 1974

The dissertation compares critically the horizons of Lonergan and Rogers (et al.) on the process and goal of personal development within the interpersonal context as well as within the context of community, in order to try to show (in an appendix) how Lonergan's genetic method affords some insight into the process of development within the sequence of higher sublated integrations of feeling, of truth, of goodness and of love in the truly "fully functioning" (Rogers), "self-transcending" (Lonergan) person. Address: Holy Cross College, Clonfliffe, Dublin 3, Ireland.
