LO and Behold

This new series, begun in October 2019, focuses on the key final paragraph of Method in Theology, chapter 10, section 5:  “Dialectic: the Structure.” There Lonergan describes the cruel process of the community of dialecticians repenting forward towards progress. The series is a back-up to what is envisaged and organized by James Duffy: groups attempting exercises, in line with that paragraph, on particular Assembly topics. The goal is to foster the move towards accepting Lonergan’s challenge of effective precision in dialectic analysis.
