SURF

A series of thirteen essays directed towards making a beginning in functional collaboration. This series begins with Lonergan’s suggestion about transposing the subtleties of interpretation in Insight chapter 17 into a functional context. In the first essay McShane comments on three possible meanings of SURF―Sally Up Round Freely; Seeking an Understanding of the Reach of Finitude; and Sensibility’s Upgrading its Relating to Forms.

(Please note that in some of the essays there are hyperlinks to works hosted on an earlier version of this website. All of those essays are now available on this website and can be easily found using the search bar.)
