anyone have any thoughts on the addition of bernard lonergan to the list of notable metaphysicians since augustine aquinas are listed and lonergan is clearly in this trajectory of catholic philosophers i thought he would be a good addition to the list his work is well regarded in th century philosophy he certainly has the credentials and i think many would agree he made highly significant contributions to metaphysics by extending the core ideas of aristotle augustine and aquinas forward in the areas of cognitional theory epistemology and verifiable metaphysics based on the data of consciousness and his study of methodology in mathematics and empirical science see insight a study of human understanding there are lonergan centers at boston college university of toronto seton hall and loyola marymount university devoted to studying and extending his works in philosophy and theology i'm quite sure nearly every philosophy professor at any jesuit schools would consider his work notable my attempt at this addition was reverted as not particularly notable as a metaphysician so thought i would throw it out there
