Title: Lonergan and the philosophy of historical existence
First published: 2001
Description: "Lonergan and the Philosophy of Historical Existence explores the implications of Lonergan's approach to the philosophy of history in a number of distinct but related contexts, covering a variety of intellectual disciplines.

Each chapter can be read independently, but the series of chapters provides a coherent unfolding of Lonergan's case that the norms of inquiry endure as a standard of human thought and action amid continuous changes and fluctuations in politics, morals, religion, science, and scholarship. The book explains how Lonergan's idea of development follows from his theory of consciousness and how his treatment of human development inevitably focuses on historical development.

The central theme of the book is that Lonergan's philosophy of history makes a pronounced distinction between historicity and historicism."--BOOK JACKET.
