Description

In challenging us to be conscious of our own subjectivity, Bernard Lonergan set out an updated mode of Aristotelian epistemology that took insights from every major philosophical tradition of the modern era. This book explains how that unique positioning makes his ideas perfectly placed to bridge the divide between analytic and continental philosophy.

Andrew Beards uses Lonergans approach not only to understand the many connections between analytic and continental traditions, but to engage with them in new and creative ways. Throughout, he puts Lonergan into conversation with other leading thinkers like St John Henry Newman, G. E. Moore, Friedrich Nietszche and L. M. Chauvet, drawing on Lonergans own direct engagement with their philosophies to underscore the wide-ranging significance of his transcendental method.
