Description:
Collected here for the first time, this series of lectures delivered by Lonergan at Boston College in 1957 illustrates a pivotal time in Lonergan's intellectual history, making both the transition from the faculty psychology still present in his work insight to intentionally analysis & his initial differentiation of the existential level of consciousness. The lectures on logic deal with the general character of mathematical logic & its relation to truth, Scholasticism, & Aristotelian logic. Continuing Lonergan's long-standing interest in the foundations of thought, the lectures on existentialism offer a penetrating account of Husserl & his influence. They also deal with Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre, & Marcel. They offer reflections on such topics as being oneself, dread, horizon & the existential gap. Perhaps more dramatically than in any other work these papers reveal Lonergan's dual commitment to the rigor of scientific analysis (in the field of mathematical logic) & to the sensitivity of continental philosophies to existential issues.
