Materials added on Sept. 24 and in week of Sept. 26
A number of new materials will be uploaded in the week of Sept. 26 (several are already up). These were prepared by R. Doran on Sept. 24.

47400DTE060: a revised pdf will be uploaded; these are 18 loose pp on method at the time of the breakthrough to functional specialization

485A0DTL060: a transcription of 18 typed pages 'De systemate et historia'

486A0DTL060: a transcrption of pages on Historicism

515A0DTE060: a transcription has been added of fragments on hermeneutics (reverse of the first two pages in 51500D0L060)

All of these are relevant to L's development in the early 1960s on the question of method.

New and revised versions of 46700DTLE60 47000DTLE60, new version of 47100DTL060, and transcription of 472A0DTE060.
New and revised versions of transcriptions of 46700DTLE060, 47000DTLE60, 47100DTL060 will be uploaded during the week of September 12, 2011. These are distinct items in the Archive. Transcriptions by R. Doran. These are documents in folder 6 in batch V, a folder whose original context is not entirely clear. Its contents may be notes for the second of the two courses Lonergan taught on 'De Intellectu et Methodo,' 1961. It is quite likely that the pages in 47000DTLE60 are out of order.
  A transcription of 472ADTE060 has been added.



New transcriptions of 46300D0L060 - 46900D0L060 uploaded 3 September 2011
Revised transcriptions of 46300D0L060 - 46900D0L060 have been uploaded on 3 September 2011. Some changes have been made by reason of better recognition of Lonergan's handwriting, and some words that previously were not recognized have been ascertained. There is still work to be done on these however.

The revised transcription of 46700D0L060 is too large to be entered here except as a separate item, so it will be uploaded as 46700DTLE60.

The folder in which these items appear (and there are several more yet to be done) is something of a mystery. What is its context? It does not seem to belong to any of the institutes that Lonergan gave on Method.

New transcription of 45600D0EL60-46200D0L060 uploaded 27 August 2011
New and improved transcriptions of 45600D0EL60-46200D0L060 were uploaded on August 27 2011. The transcriptions are by R. Doran. The first document has some importance for L's view of the relation between hermeneutics and systematics, and all of the documents are important for the development of his views on hermeneutics in general. The transcriptions are still incomplete, in that some of the words in L's handwriting are not clear. In a couple of instances, the omissions are important, and so further work remains to be done.

46200D0L060 is definitely part of the notes L wrote for the 1962 course 'De Methodo Theologiae.' It relates to the 'problematica altera' of that course, notes for which are not included in the major set of notes that he distributed again in the summer course at Regis College on 'The Method of Theology.' If this one document belongs in that context, it is highly likely that the rest of the documents in this file (including 45500D0L060) also belong there, especially since they are all dealing with the same issues.

2011 Report from the Marquette Lonergan Project

On August 12 we will post on this site and on www.lonerganresource.com a report from the Marquette Lonergan Project, detailing the events of the past year and letting people know what we have planned for the year ahead.

Lonergan Events at Marquette 2011-2012

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

 

Lonergan Events 2011-2012

 

In the fall of 2009 and again in the fall of 2010, two events were sponsored at Marquette University which merited a commitment to ongoing continuity. In September of both 2009 and 2010, the Lonergan Society of Marquette University, a group of graduate students in theology and philosophy, sponsored a graduate student conference ‘Lonergan on the Edge,’ featuring a number of student speakers from up to 9 universities in the U.S. and Canada. And later in the fall each year, the Marquette Lonergan Project sponsored the first two colloquia on ‘Doing Catholic Systematic Theology in a Multi-Religious World.’

 

These two events will be sponsored again in the fall of 2011, and a third event, a colloquium on Lonergan, Philosophy, and Theology, will be sponsored in the spring of 2012.

 

A call for papers for ‘Lonergan on the Edge’ has already been issued. The fall colloquium, which in 2009 focused on the mission of the Holy Spirit in a multi-religious world, and in 2010 focused on the mission of the Word in the context of interreligious dialogue and understanding, will center attention this year on the mission of the Church, again in the same context.

 

The new colloquium, Lonergan, Philosophy, and Theology, is scheduled for March 1 and 2, 2012. All of these events will be held in the Beaumier Suites B and C in the Raynor Memorial Libraries. The schedule of these events is as follows.

 

LONERGAN ON THE EDGE: A Graduate Student Conference Sponsored by the Lonergan Society of Marquette University, September 16-18 2010. Special attention to the topic ‘Lonergan as a Reader of Aquinas’

 

DOING CATHOLIC SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY IN A MULTI-RELIGIOUS WORLD: The Third Annual Colloquium Sponsored by the Marquette Lonergan Project, November 2-3 2011. Major papers by Robert M. Doran, S.J., Marquette University; John D. Dadosky, Regis College, University of Toronto; and Susan Wood, S.C.L., Marquette University. Each lecture will be followed by a panel discussion and open conversation. Panelists will be invited from faculty at Marquette and other schools and from Marquette graduate students in theology.

 

LONERGAN, PHILOSOPHY, AND THEOLOGY: The First Annual Colloquium on this topic, March 1 and 2, 2012. Major papers by Mark Morelli, Loyola Marymount University, ‘Lonergan and Hegel’; Michael Sharkey, University of Wisconsin – Platteville, ‘Lonergan and Heidegger’; and William Rehg, S.J., Saint Louis University, ‘Lonergan and Habermas.’ Again, each lecture will be followed by a panel discussion and open conversation, with panelists invited from philosophy and theology departments at Marquette and elsewhere.

 

Visitors to Milwaukee may want to request accommodations at a special Marquette rate at the Ambassador Hotel, just off campus (2308 West Wisconsin Avenue, toll free: 877-503-2011).



Transcription of 50700D0L060
R. Doran's transcription of 50700D0L060, dated November 6, 1963, part of Lonergan's notes for his 1964-64 course 'De methodo theologiae' has been uploaded April 16 2011.

Transcription of 50600D0L060
R. Doran's transcription of 50600D0L060 was uploaded to the site on April 10, 2011. It would seem to be Lonergan's notes for the second class in the course 'De methodo theologiae' Fall 1963.

Transcriptions of 50400D0L060 and 50500D0L060
R. Doran's transcriptions of Lonergan's handwritten notes for 50400D0L060 and 50500D0L060 were uploaded to the site on April 9 2011. These items are contained in Lonergan's file of notes for the fall 1963 course 'De methodo theologiae,' though it would seem Lonergan did not use them for lectures in the course.

Transcription of 50300D0L060
A transcription by R. Doran of the first day's set of notes for Lonergan's 1963-64 course 'De methodo theologiae.' Uploaded to the site on April 2, 2011. Compare with the Daly notes on the course, pp. 1-4, at 84300DTE060. There are elements in Daly's notes not in Lonergan's and vice versa, indicating that he did not follow the notes strictly in class.

The 26th Annual Fallon Memorial Lonergan Symposium (West Coast Methods Institute)
The twenty-sixth annual Fallon Memorial Lonergan Symposium will be held at Loyola Marymount University April 28-30 2011. For the schedule, visit the website of The Los Angeles Lonergan Center, accessible through "Links" on this website.

New transcriptions January 22 2011

Today I revised the transcriptions already posted on the site for 48900D0L050 and 49000D0L050, and I added new transcriptions for 49100D0L050, 49200D0L050, and 49300D0L050. These are all part of Lonergan's handwritten notes for his course in the fall of 1959 'De systemate et historia.' The typewritten materials from 485 to 488 will appear in vol. 23 of the Collected Works, but the materials preceding these items, beginning with 476 and ending with 502, are also part of this important course, and transcriptions and eventually translations of these will be available on the site. The present uploads are part of that project.

RD



New transcriptions December 4
A transcription of 47100D0L060 has been added. Many words could not be deciphered. The item refers back to issues treated in 'De expressione' and 'De implicito et explicito,' and like those items never figured as such in any of Lonergan's published writings. I think he's still working out the move from logic to method in all this.

Also, during the week of December 6 a transcription of 47000D0EL60 will be added. This is an important document, though it is not possible to tell exactly when it was written. Parts of it are definitely connected to 'De intellectu et methodo' but parts point forward to themes emphasized in the notes written at the time of the breakthrough to functional specialization.

New transcription November 29
46200D0L060, Categoriae, has been transcribed by Robert M. Doran. Transcription available with the item.

New transcriptions November 27, 2010

Transcriptions added November 27, 2010:
(1) 46600D0L060
(2) 46700DTLE60 - material on implicit and explicit and via inventionis, a position Lonergan would replace with differentiations of consciousness; this item shows how seriously he tried to work out the problem of development on a logical basis



Uploaded during the week of November 22
The following new files will be uploaded at some point during the week of November 22:

(1) 15100DTE040: Some Metaphysical Notions connected with Verba. These are notes of a lecture that Lonergan gave on February 28 1947 on the metaphysical framework for the psychological treatment of verbum. They are related to the material in the third of the Verbum articles. These notes were given by Philip Leah to Michael Shields in early August 2010.

(2) 151A0DTE040: An edited version by Daniel Monsour of the same essay that appears in 15100DTE040.

(3) 16500DTE030: Fragments on assent. This is a compilation of a number of pages from a 1930s essay on assent that Lonergan had used as wrappers for other materials in his papers. The full document has not survived. The fragments have been retyped and assembled into one document by Robert Doran.

(4) 1879ADTE060: Philosophy in a Catholic University. We already have in 18790DTE060 notes on a lecture on Philosophy in a Catholic University that appeared together with Lonergan's notes for his lectures on INSIGHT at Moraga, California. This is another typescript of the same notes.

New transcriptions November 19, 2010
(1) 46400D0E060: transcribed notes on method. There is an intriguing question regarding the context of these. See the speculation in the description.

(2) 46500D0L060: transcribed notes in the same file, treating perception, symbol, dialectic, method of philosophy, space, time, empiricist-realist-idealist positions on meaning, speech. Most but not all of the pages are in English. Again, the context is a question.

Transcriptions of Dublin 1971 Institute on Method in Theology
During the week of November 1, there will be uploaded to the website the transcriptions of the 1971 lectures at Milltown Park, Dublin, on Method in Theology. These begin at 640A0DTE070 and continue to 649Q0DTE070.

New transcriptions October 30, 2010
Transcriptions by Robert M. Doran of the following items were added today:

45900D0L060
46000D0L060
46100D0L060
46300DoL060

The first three of these are probably connected with Lonergan's 'problematica altera' in his 1962 spring course at the Gregorian 'De methodo theologiae.' He is working through the issue of hermeneutics.

The final new entry begins a new series on the problem of method. The context remains to be determined, even surmised! Stay tuned!

Added on October 23, 2010
(1) At 45600D0EL60, a transcription by Robert M. Doran has been added.
(2) At 45700D0EL60, a transcription by Robert M. Doran has been added.
(3) At 45800D0EL60, a transcription by Robert M. Doran has been added.

One new transcription week of October 18 2010
45500DTLE60, a transcription by Robert Doran of 45500D0L060, has been uploaded to the site. The original item consists of 20 pp. on hermeneutics and history, in the context of the 1962 spring course at the Gregorian 'De methodo theologiae.' Lonergan seems to be in the process of writing the 'Hermeneutics' paper that he will provide at the summer institute at Regis shortly after this Rome course.

New transcriptions and descriptions October 9 2010
I have discovered today that the material regarding the 1961 course 'De intellectu et methodo' ends with 44900D0L060. I presume Lonergan used the notes from the 1959 'De intellectu et methodo' and supplemented those notes with the new material. There is some internal evidence for this suggestion. But 45000D0L060 (which is the first entry in a new folder) along with all other items but one in that folder most likely belong to the spring 1962 course 'De methodo theologiae,' and at least some of these to the 'problematic altera' of that course, which is addressed as such in 45200D0L060. The one item that does not belong to 'De Methodo theologiae' is 454, which contains introductory notes to the exercitatio on Gratia Operans for the same semester (spring 1962). The last two pages of 45100D0L060 are related directly to the very beginning of the 1962 course De methodo theologiae, and 450, 452, and 453 are concerned with the 'problematica altera.' Most interesting is the allusion in 453 to the section of SEIN UND ZEIT treating the task of the destruction of the history of ontology -- this on a page in which L is concerned with hermeneutics and the movement from the quoad nos to the quoad se. 

For now I have posted transcriptions of 450-453 regarding 'De methodo theologiae' and 454 regarding the Gratia Operans exercitatio of the same semester.

  To be added to.

Recent Additions October 6 2010
Four files have been added this week:

45200DTL060: A transcription of 45200D0L060, 'Problematic altera,' an important set of notes that Lonergan wrote for his 1962 course 'De Methodo Theologiae.' There is no typed record of the material for this 'second problematic' even though it is mentioned several times in the typed notes 42600DTL060 that constitute the bulk of Lonergan's class notes for this course. The original handwriting is among the most difficult to decipher of all Lonergan's handwritten papers, and so the transcription contains some blanks.

45200DTE060: An English translation of 45200D0L060.

99100A0E080: A clip from the Morfin interview with Lonergan that has aroused much interest because of Frederick Crowe's interpretation of what Lonergan says about insight into insight.

99100DTE080: A transcription of 99100A0E080.

Australian Lonergan Workshop
Friday 29 April - Sunday 1 May 2011: The Australian Lonergan Workshop, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. More details and link later

New transcriptions
On September 4, 2010, transcriptions of a number of handwritten notes by Lonergan for his course on System and History were placed in the "transcription" box on the respective file description pages. The files: 47600D0E060, 47700D0E060, 47800D0E060, 47900D0E06, 48000D0E060, 48100D0E060, 48200D0E060, 48300D0E060, 48400D0L060, 48900D0L060, 49000D0L060. The files from 485 to 488 are typed and will form part of CWL 23, Early Works on Theological Method 1, with English translations, but these other files in the same folder are handwritten notes all relevant to the same course, an important development in Lonergan's thinking on method. The remaining notes from the same folder will be transcribed soon.

43300DTE060

English translation from the transcription of the Latin notes found in A433. The question of the ideal of reason. Dated Feb 20 1961. 5 handwritten schematic pp, in perhaps two slightly different shades of green ink. 4 of the 5 pp. are on reverse of discarded English text on realism. These are the first notes in this file (V/8) to have a date. I presume they are notes for the 1961 course De intellectu et methodo. I do not think the earlier items in this file belong to that course, but to something later, perhaps preparation for ‘De methodo theologiae’ in the spring. RD. The handwritten notes along with a transcription of the Latin may be found at 43300D0L060.

 

43400DTE060

English translation from the transcription of the Latin notes found in A434. Dated March 3 1961. Again treats ideal of reason. 4 handwritten schematic pp. These notes are written on reverse of discarded English pp, one definitely responding to a critic (Fay), the others treating the category of myth (all possibly part of one and the same larger essay). The handwritten notes along with a transcription of the Latin may be found at 43400D0L060.

 

43500DTE060

English translation from the transcription of the Latin notes found in A435. Dated February 27 1961. 4 more pp. on the ideal of reason, handwritten, schematic. All of these are on reverse of discarded pp. on cognitional theory (A435a). It is important to note the date, as this item belongs earlier than 43400DTE070. The handwritten notes along with a transcription of the Latin may be found at 43500D0L060.

 

43600DTE060

English translation from the transcription of the Latin notes found in A436. The date is Feb 24, and so this item is earlier than either 434 or 435. 3 pp. on the ideal of reason, handwritten, schematic. The handwritten notes may be found at 43600D0L060 and with a transcription of the Latin may be found at 43600DTL060.

 

43700DTE060

English translation from the transcription of the Latin notes found in A437. The date is March 6. 6 pp. probably for the 1961 course ‘De Intellectu et Methodo.’ The handwritten notes along with a transcription of the Latin may be found at 43700D0L060.
