Bernard Lonergan
Recounts the startling reach of Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984) in areas as diverse as pragmatic self-knowledge, mathematical logic and metalogic, economics, and systematic theology. The final chapters highlight the importance of physics in his magnum opus Insight as well as his breakthrough identification of a practical theory of history.
Au seuil du silence
« L’amour c’est pas pour les peureux! » Regards d’espérance sur la vie en CHSLD. Simone, l’épouse de Pierrot Lambert, a passé 817 jours en CHSLD. Jusqu’au dernier jour, avec amour et dévouement, malgré la peur et les difficultés inhérentes à la proche-aidance, Pierrot l’a accompagné. Tout au long de leur séjour dans la chambre 331, il a rédigé des chroniques pour ses proches, pour lui-même, pour tous ceux qui veulent entendre un récit plus humain de la fin de vie en milieu médicalisé. Là où nous avons trop souvent l’habitude de ne voir que la face obscure du vieillissement et de la dépendance, Pierrot Lambert tisse un récit d’espérance, de solidarité, de vie, où s’entrelacent les anecdotes drôles et les moments de grande tristesse. Dans ce témoignage doux et bienveillant, l’auteur nous raconte la vie en CHSLD, la solidarité, le dévouement des employés, les difficultés et les différentes réalités de ce milieu de vie.

Randomness, Statistics, and Emergence (2nd edition)
In Randomness, Statistics, and Emergence, McShane illustrates how classical and statistical procedures complement one another. One of the conclusions he draws in Randomness is that emergence and evolution are explained in terms of probabilities of emergence and probabilities of survival of recurrence-schemes. To arrive at a principle of emergence, McShane focuses on actual procedures of empirical investigators and the type of explanation they seek. Those doing the relevant sciences—biophysics and biochemistry are his focus in the last four chapters—can verify objective randomness and emergence by attending to their performance. McShane also makes beginnings in heuristics of biological and scientific growth and development. The first edition of this book was first published in 1970. The second edition includes a second preface, “The Riverrun to God,” written by McShane in the fall of 2012. It also includes an editor’s introduction written by Terrance Quinn, author of Invitation to Generalized Empirical Method in Philosophy and Science and The (Pre-) Dawning of Functional Specialization in Physics.
Finding Salvation in Christ
Finding Salvation in Christ brings together some of the most important figures in contemporary theology to honor the work of William Loewe, systematic theologian and specialist in the theology of Bernard Lonergan, SJ. For over three decades Loewe's writings have sought to make classic christological and soteriological doctrines comprehensible to a Catholic Church that is working to integrate individual subjectivity, communal living, and historical consciousness in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. Essays included in this volume assess Loewe's reinterpretation of patristic and medieval Christology from Irenaeus to Anselm of Canterbury, and explain the significance of the theology of Lon...
Archival Material
In order to correctly assess Lonergan's life's work, it is crucial to have a familiarity with his early forays into speculative philosophical and theological matters, as presented in this volume.
Lonergan's Discovery of the Science of Economics
Bernard Lonergan's economic writings span forty years and contain ideas that differ radically from those of his contemporaries. His theory of macroeconomic dynamics was developed through the 1930s and 1940s, culminating in the composition of For a New Political Economy (1942) and An Essay in Circulation Analysis (1944). In Lonergan's Discovery of the Science of Economics, Michael Shute uses archival material in order to examine the influence of Lonergan's early work in methodology, social philosophy, and theology on the development of his economic theory. Shute traces the development of Lonergan's economic ideas from the late 1920s to the publication of his significant economic works in the 1940s. Together with its companion volume, Lonergan's Early Economic Research, this volume outlines the process behind one of the great intellectual discoveries of the twentieth century and uncovers Lonergan's framework for a genuine science of economics.
