GEMS<br />

This section includes works that make little or no mention <strong>Lonergan</strong> but focus on topics that <strong>Lonergan</strong> has written<br />

about. Contributors are asked to give a few words explaining the relevance of the citation. We encourage other<br />

contributors to share their wealth!<br />

"For anyone who has struggled with CWL 15 and 21 from the base of school exposure to economics, and is<br />

still having problems, I would like to suggest full reading of J.A. Schumpter's Capitalism, Socialism and<br />

Democracy, originally published in 1942. It not only provides a clear sense of the state of debate in<br />

economic theory at the time of <strong>Lonergan</strong>'s Circulation Analysis but teaches the details of questions to which<br />

<strong>Lonergan</strong> begged to submit a few distinctions. Personally, Schumpeter has given me a step up in<br />

understanding what <strong>Lonergan</strong> offers." – Maxim Faust<br />

CONFERENCES & COURSES<br />

An International Conference on ‘Cultural and Knowledge Exchange between Austria and Canada’ was<br />

held May 2-5, <strong>2002</strong>, at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Of particular interest to LSN readers is Section<br />

III of the conference, ‘Reception of Different Forms of Culture and Systems of Knowledge – Philosophy,<br />

<strong>The</strong>ology,’ in which two lectures on <strong>Lonergan</strong> were given. Otto Muck, Professor emeritus of the University<br />

of Innsbruck spoke on ‘<strong>Bernard</strong> <strong>Lonergan</strong>’s Contribution to Philosophical Method – the First Phase of<br />

Reception in Innsbruck,’ and Professor Raymund Schwager, also of the University of Innsbruck, lectured on<br />

‘Conversion and Authenticity: <strong>Bernard</strong> <strong>Lonergan</strong> and René Girard.’ Thanks to Linus Kpalap for this report.<br />

At the 25 th International Wittgenstein Symposium in August at Kirchberg am Wechsel in Lower Austria,<br />

Linus Kpalap presented a paper, ‘<strong>Lonergan</strong> on Person as Psychological Subject’. <strong>The</strong> theme of the<br />

symposium was, ‘Persons: An Interdisciplinary Approach’.<br />

On the <strong>Web</strong>site www.philipmcshane.ca there is a report of the proceedings of the fourth annual West<br />

Dublin Conference (August 12-16, Nova Scotia, Canada) in Cantower 6. (This 44-page Cantower also


4 <strong>Lonergan</strong> Studies Newsletter <strong>23</strong>:3<br />

contains a to-be-published article on classroom application of generalized empirical method). Cantower 7,<br />

appearing on October 1 st , deals with genetic systematics and points towards the genetic Pragmatics that must<br />

also be generative and re-generative if it is to reach for the full efficient potential of the seventh functional<br />

specialty. Cantower 8, on November 1 st , deals with the cyclic complexification of the collaborative effort that<br />

is to emerge from functional specialization. Cantower 9, December 1 st , pushes for a conception of adult<br />

philosophic growth as gradual positional incarnation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first "<strong>Lonergan</strong> Symposium at Seton Hall University" convened on Saturday afternoon, August 8 th .<br />

Stephen Martin presented the structure of <strong>Lonergan</strong>'s pure economic cycle, noting how remote it is from<br />

contemporary economic theory and practice. Dick Lambert related Thomas Berry's <strong>The</strong> Great Work to<br />

chapter 18 of Insight, arguing that economic processes must respect the underlying ecologies and schemes on<br />

which they depend or turn self-destructive. Stephanie Parello discussed the functioning of higher viewpoints<br />

in geometry, number theory and astronomy. Frank Braio discussed the problems involved in 'canonizing'<br />

<strong>Lonergan</strong>'s project and in relating it to the functional specialties.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lonergan</strong> movement in Italy goes from strength to strength. <strong>The</strong> present project: a three-year<br />

‘Workshop for the Study of <strong>Lonergan</strong>’s Insight,’ featuring six ‘Live-in Seminars,’ of several days<br />

duration – this, in addition to Permanent Seminars already functioning in Perugia, Turin, and Piacenza.<br />

Wide participation of universities and other academic centers has been secured, and even wider participation<br />

of scholars: from Turin, Perugia, Milan, Rome, Naples, Piacenza, and Alto Adige. Invites collaborators,<br />

scholarly and financial. Appealing to the Italian episcopacy, in particular ‘Servizio Nazionale per il Progetto<br />

Culturale della Conferenza Episcopale Italiana’; further financial help solicited. A principal result:<br />

publication of the definitive Italian translation of Insight. One sees here, of course, the creative energy of<br />

Natalino Spaccapelo and Saturnino Muratore, and the generous sponsorship of the Instituto per la<br />

Promozione delle Scienze Umane di Perugia. This institute is possibly the best contact for further<br />

information; address: I.P.S.U. Via A. Vecchi 195, 061<strong>23</strong>, Perugia, Italy.<br />

In the fall semester, the following courses will be offered by Regis College in the Toronto School of<br />

<strong>The</strong>ology: Gilles Mongeau: ‘God, One and Triune’; Gordon Rixon: ‘Foundations of <strong>The</strong>ology,’ and<br />

‘<strong>Lonergan</strong>’s Method’; John Dadosky: ‘<strong>The</strong>ology as Biography,’ and ‘Ecclesiology’; Bob Doran: a<br />

graduate seminar, ‘<strong>Lonergan</strong>’s Systematics of the Trinity’.<br />

At St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto, Michael Vertin is offering a course, ‘Good and Evil’.<br />

Colleagues apprehensively await its outcome.<br />

COMING UP<br />

An International Conference is to be held in 2004 to mark the 100 th Anniversary of the birthdays of Karl<br />

Rahner, <strong>Bernard</strong> <strong>Lonergan</strong>, and John Courteney Murray. <strong>The</strong> theme of the conference will be ‘<strong>The</strong><br />

Christian Faith in the Modern World,’ and it will take place at the Catholic Academy, Mainz, Germany. For<br />

<strong>The</strong> West Coast Method Institute announces the Fallon Memorial <strong>Lonergan</strong> Symposium 18, on the theme,<br />

"Meaning: Exigences, Modes, Realms." This is taken from a quote of <strong>Lonergan</strong>'s, "Different exigences give<br />

rise to different realms of meaning." <strong>The</strong> symposium will run from Thursday morning, April 24, through<br />

Saturday night, April 26, 2003, on the campus of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles. In a departure<br />

from prior years, there will be no Sunday morning sessions. <strong>The</strong> Symposium will conclude with a banquet on<br />

PROJECTS<br />

<strong>Lonergan</strong> Research Institute.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lonergan</strong> Research Institute ended its 2001-<strong>2002</strong> fiscal year on July 31, evenly balanced for the year.<br />

This may not sound like a major accomplishment, but there were complicating factors that make the people<br />

at the Institute regard it as significant. First, a good deal more expenses were budgeted than ever before,<br />

because of the timing of some new projects. At the same time Jesuit subsidies from the local community and<br />

the Upper Canada Province were terminated because of insufficient resources. So the sole reason for the<br />

success of this first year of the PROJECT 2004 campaign is the generosity of the benefactors of the Institute,<br />

who contributed $100,000 more than had ever before been given in a single year. <strong>The</strong> Institute was the<br />

grateful recipient of more than $220,000 of donations in the course of the year. <strong>The</strong> Institute begins a new


6 <strong>Lonergan</strong> Studies Newsletter <strong>23</strong>:3<br />

fiscal year with renewed confidence because of the past year, and with a new hope that we will continue to<br />

find the assistance we need to continue our work.<br />

Over the course of the summer, things were fairly quiet at the Institute. <strong>Volume</strong> 7 of the Collected Works,<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ontological and Psychological Constitution of Christ, was published in June, with the translation done<br />

by Michael Shields of the Institute. Bob Doran, Bob Croken, and audio archivist Greg Lauzon traveled to<br />

the <strong>Lonergan</strong> Workshop at Boston College in June. Bob Doran delivered a paper at the Workshop, ‘<strong>The</strong><br />

Unified Field Structure for Systematic <strong>The</strong>ology: A Proposal,’ and Greg demonstrated the work he has been<br />

doing on the compact disc project.<br />

CD Project. About half of the projected CDs have found sponsors, and the first few sets will be available to<br />

all who have ordered them by November of this year. <strong>The</strong> actual transfer to CD has already been completed<br />

for the following sets: the 30-disc set of lectures and discussions on ‘<strong>The</strong> Method of <strong>The</strong>ology’ (Regis<br />

College 1962), ‘Horizons and Transpositions,’ ‘Self-transcendence: Intellectual, Moral, Religious,’ and ‘A<br />

Discussion on Insight.’ Greg is still working on the lectures on the philosophy of education that became the<br />

book Topics in Education, and these will be along a bit later than the others mentioned here. At the present<br />

time, Bob Doran is writing liner notes for each of the CDs currently finished, and Greg is designing the art<br />

for the brochure inserts and tray cards. When these tasks are done, those who have ordered CDs will be<br />

receiving them. Anyone who wishes to place an order may find information on how to do so on the<br />

Institute’s webpage: www.utoronto.ca/lri. (Deborah Agnew’s work has paid off on the webpage, which will<br />

be updated, we hope, at least every two months.)<br />

Plans for the coming year are announced in some detail in the Bulletin that will go out with the fall mailing<br />

of the Institute in mid-<strong>September</strong>. To be placed on our mailing list, and so to receive the Bulletin and regular<br />

‘Updates,’ please contact either Deborah Agnew at debbie.agnew@utoronto.ca or Bob Doran at<br />

bdoranca@yahoo.ca.<br />

Plans for the fall include a major event that will be held at Regis College on November 1. <strong>The</strong> event will<br />

feature the launching of the CD project and a display of the Collected Works, both of these in the afternoon<br />

from 4 to 6 P.M., and an evening lecture at 7:30 by Bob Doran, which will be an update of his lecture on<br />

‘<strong>The</strong> Unified Field Structure for Systematic <strong>The</strong>ology.’ This lecture will be the first in what the Institute<br />

hopes will be a series of annual <strong>Bernard</strong> <strong>Lonergan</strong> Lectures in Systematic <strong>The</strong>ology. All readers of the<br />

Newsletter are cordially invited to attend all or part of this event celebrating the work of the Institute. If you<br />

hope to be present for the afternoon session, please let Debbie know, so that we can plan to have enough<br />

refreshments.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Institute has also reserved a booth at the upcoming convention in Toronto of the American Academy of<br />

Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature. At the booth we will display (and sell) the CDs and the<br />

Collected Works.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Institute is pleased to announce the return from Australia of a key member of the staff, Danny Monsour.<br />

Danny did the bulk of the work on the details of <strong>Lonergan</strong>-related publications for this <strong>Lonergan</strong> Studies<br />

Newsletter. As announced in the last Newsletter, Fred Crowe has stepped aside as our ‘point man’ for the<br />

Newsletter, and Danny will be taking on a good part of the work that Fred did so faithfully and diligently for<br />

so many years. In the last issue of the Newsletter a proposal was made that perhaps some readers might wish<br />

to become sponsors or even patrons of this publication. One of the most effective ways of helping the<br />

Institute is to put one’s name on one of its projects in the form of a donation, as many have already done in<br />

sponsoring volumes of the Collected Works and CDs. As we indicated in the last issue, one can become a<br />

patron of the Newsletter with a one-time donation of $5,000, which will be earmarked for this publication;<br />

and one can be a sponsor for a year with an annual donation of $500. And the Institute wishes to take this<br />

opportunity to thank Tad Dunne for his very generous and creative work in editing the Newsletter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Institute will soon be hiring a part-time fund-raiser, who will begin work in October or November. We<br />

are conscious of the fact that we approached our regular mailing list in the past year more often than had


<strong>September</strong> <strong>2002</strong> 7<br />

been customary in earlier years. We had to do this, and no doubt we will continue a fairly steady stream of<br />

communications with our principal constituency. But we also know that we have to add more new donors to<br />

our list – a large number were added in the past year, mainly through direct mailing – and we are especially<br />

interested in investigating the possibilities of corporate, government, and foundation assistance. <strong>The</strong><br />

research demanded for such proposals is more than the present staff has time to do, and so we will be<br />

bringing on board someone well-versed in the art of fund-raising.<br />

<strong>Lonergan</strong> papers in the Archives. Aaron Lupton was hired this summer to continue work on shelving,<br />

photocopying, and cataloguing the papers, and he will continue to work a few hours each week this next<br />

year, as he completes his Master’s degree at the University of Toronto. And in a related project, Michael<br />

Shields has been cataloguing the many photographs that are in the Archives.<br />

a<br />

<strong>The</strong> Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy is soliciting articles on Ethics (metaethics, normative ethics,<br />

applied ethics, and figures in the history of ethics) for inclusion in the peer reviewed Internet Encyclopedia<br />

of Philosophy. Those interested in writing an essay should contact the Ethics editors: Rosemarie Tong,<br />

Department of Philosophy, University of North Carolina at Charlotte (rotong@email.uncc.edu) or Michael<br />

Boylan, Department of Philosophy, Marymount University (mboylan@phoenix. marymount.edu).<br />

PEOPLE<br />

Ferdinand Muhigirwa is conducting a year-long seminar on <strong>Lonergan</strong>’s Insight at St. Peter Canisius<br />

College, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. This, in addition to his administrative duties as<br />

Social Apostolate Co-ordinator for the Jesuit Assistancy of Africa and Madagascar.<br />

At St. Louis University, Department of <strong>The</strong>ological Studies, Bill Shea is offering a reading course in the Fall<br />

semester 02 on Understanding and Being and one in Spring 03 on Method in <strong>The</strong>ology. <strong>The</strong>y are open to all<br />

students from undergraduates to doctoral students.<br />

Jim Kanaris will be teaching a graduate seminar on <strong>Lonergan</strong>’s philosophy of religion at McGill’s Faculty<br />

of Religious Studies in the winter (2003). This is in addition to an Honours Colloquium he has been teaching<br />

at the Faculty for the past few years on <strong>Lonergan</strong>, Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, and others. "I’m not sure<br />

whether a grad seminar at McGill has ever been devoted exclusively to <strong>Lonergan</strong>’s thought; I could be wrong<br />

of course." <strong>The</strong> seminar will be based on his research published last month by SUNY Press: <strong>Bernard</strong><br />

<strong>Lonergan</strong>’s Philosophy of Religion: From Philosophy of God to Philosophy of Religious Studies. See page 1,<br />

above. See also Jim's website for further details: www.sunypress.edu/details.aspid=60611.<br />
