Occasionally, however, his language is not careful. The famous television detective Lt. Logic is surely at work, but one of Lonergan's concerns was to show that logic is not basic. I do not think Creamer would disagree with this, but I do think his examples are usually superior to his explication. A second example of a perhaps less than careful expression is in a passage on the notion of self-appropriation.
Creamer draws a dubious lesson.
Intellectual conversion is not identical with knowing. This is an important theme that deserves the attention that Creamer accords it. The connection between love and tradition in his presentation, however, is not clear to me. This is a legitimate point, and well made by Creamer's example of John Courtney Murray's fortunes before and after the start of the Council. But this is too simple, and too much like a recipe.
