Publications

Doran, Robert M. Psychic Conversion and Theological Foundations: Toward a Reorientation of the Human Sciences. Chico, CA, Scholars Press, 1981.

"The book argues that Bernard Lonergan's notion of theological foundations needs to be complemented by an account of psychic conversion, through which the subject gains access to the elemental symbols in which one's existential orientation and its affective momentum are reflected. These foundations ground not only theology, but also reorient human sciences and an interdisciplinary collaboration that would promote the emergence of a cross cultural communitarian alternative to the variants of totalitarianism."

Dissertations & Theses

"The thesis contains two parts, a first one providing a background chapter to the modern problem of doctrinal development and two chapters on the basis for Lonergan's resolution of it: his analysis of historical mindedness and transcendental method. The second part deals with Lonergan's explicit position, with a chapter on the development of his thought on doctrinal development, a chapter on his Christian Philosophy and doctrine's permanence, and a chapter on doctrinal development in Method's functional specialties.
