Complete Bibliography of Lonergan Studies

Introduction

Terry Tekippe first discussed the idea of a Lonergan newsletter with Frederick Crowe during the Lonergan Workshop at Boston College in June 1976. The desirability of a newsletter was evident, but no consensus could be reached on he scope and management of such a project. At the 1979 Boston workshop, Michael O’Callaghan, who had just complete a dissertation at Tübingen on Lonergan, met Terry Tekippe and asked him about the projected newsletter. Together they sketched a concrete proposal and presented it to the Workshop speakers and participants, who favorably responded and added several valuable suggestions concerning the project.

In September 1979, Michael O’Callaghan sent the proposal to those who had attended the 1979 Boston Workshop, inviting them to subscribe to the Newsletter. A further mailing list was compiled with the assistance of Fred Crowe at Regis College in Toronto, and people on this list received the proposal in November. Sponsored by the Lonergan Research Institute in Toronto, the first issue appeared in January 1980.

Terry and Michael worked together until Michael’s death in 1986. Terry continued as editor until June 1988, when Fred Crowe took over. With the assistance of Bob Croken, Bob Doran, and Mike Shields, Fred stayed the course until December 1998, when Tad Dunne accepted his invitation to be editor. With the assistance of Henry Toenjes, who, as former librarian at the Detroit Public Library, had all back copies of the newsletter, Tad converted the set to digital format and provided the full set of published LSNs online. With the irreplaceable assistance of Danny Monsour as Research Associate, he continued to provide the Lonergan Research Institute with both hard-copy and web-based versions of the newsletter.

The present document is intended for researchers. The aim is simply to provide a manageably small file to facilitate searches of specific terms and names. It includes all the bibliographic citations of published works as well as all reviews and dissertations that have appeared in the Lonergan Studies Newsletter. Omitted are the materials on upcoming conferences, unpublished papers and web-based materials, news about people in studies related to Lonergan’s work, and all graphical materials. For fonts, the entire document uses only Ariel for headings and Times New Roman for text.

This online version will be updated quarterly with each new issue of the LSN.

Doran, Robert M., Subject and Psyche: Ricoeur, Jung and the Search for Foundations, Washington: University Press of America, 1977.

The advertisement from the UPA states: "The power of Bernard Lonergan's method is demonstrated in this use of it to generate categories for a science of the psyche. At the same time, it is shown how this science will complement Lonergan's method, moving it closer to its goal." Bernard Lonergan is then quoted "The search for foundations aims at complementing (Lonergan's) threefold conversion (intellectual, moral, religious) with a fourth psychic or aesthetic conversion that opens up free communications between the appropriated existential subject and his or her roots in the imaginal, in Heidegger's Befindlichkeit, in Progoff's cognitypes and dynatypes. With this purpose I fully agree."
