Bernard Lonergan was one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century. I have prepared a brief introduction to Lonergan's challenging ideas, together with my own perspective on his work, as: "Lonergan, Metaphysics and Mythology" It has just been published in "The Examined Life" at: http://committed.to/theexaminedlife
Winter 2003 edition. I argue that the cosmos is a process involving self-organisation at the material and biological stages and self-creation at the human stage.

Good introduction! I appreciate your concise treatment of his sometimes overwhelming ideology. His stuff's actually quite elegant once you get it.

I've always found it interesting that, in hindsight, many thinkers seem to converge on a common theme. IMO Lonergon hints of Leary, though it's just as easily argued that the two were worlds apart.
