FALLON,S.I. September23, 1922- August 9, 1994 life was T TOW can one give a fitting eulogy for a person whose H the life of the spirit, whose transforming moment was the I Iexperience of nothingness and partaking of divine being, whose struggle each morning, known to only a f,ew, against under- mining psychic pressureswas a daily incarnation of self-transcendence, whose personal vocation was to heighten his own and others' attention to the normative Pattern of consciousness? Timothy Fallon, born in San Francisco of Irish immigrants in 1,922,was reared in the jesuit tradition at St. Ignatius College Prepara- tory. He entered the society of fesus on August 74, 1940,and studied at Sacred Heart Novitiate in Los Gatos, at St. Michael's Seminary, and Gonzaga University where he received his B.A. and M.A. degrees' After teaching for two years at Santa Clara University, he entered Alma College where he earned a licentiate in sacred theology in 1954. The year before, on |une 72, 1,953,he was ordained a priest at St' Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco. In virtue of his arresting presence, his considerable rhetorical ability, and his indomitable personal energy, Tim Fallon seemed destined for missionary activity until, under the influence of Loner- gan,s writings, he underwent an intellectual conversion. Henceforth his zeal, experienced by conferenceparticipants in Florida, Boston, and Santa Clara and by countless students, would Promote the diffusion of a cosmopolis of authentic subjects. In the mid-1960s he earned a doctorate in philosophy at the Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto and returned to santa clara University. For the next thirty years at Santa Clara he taught coursesin philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics,and existentialism,and was an unfailingly generous nurturer/ counselor, and friend to his students. In the late 1960sand early 1970she served as chair of the department of philosophy. He co-directed the International Lonergan Conferencein 1984,and established and directed the santa clara Lonergan Center. In METHOD:Journal of LonerganStudies 1985 he founded the West Coast Methods Institute and for ten years hosted its annual explorations of the relevanceof Lonergan's thought to the pursuit of personal authenticity. And yet Tim Fallon was also an earthy man who lived life massively. He could dominate a conversation with his charm, his jokes, and his Irish tenor. He enjoyed the satisfaction of good food and drink, the pleasuresof company, the experiencesof the arts, and the cultivation of orchids in the very cemeterygrounds where he now lies. His room would often be cluttered with catalogues of the latest computer equipment. He would spend an incredible amount of time behind the wheel, even in later years with a painful arthritic condition, to drive to a scenicspot, to run errands for friends, or to visit the sick and elderly. His learning was complementedby a childlike simplicity and hope, frequently revealedin his humor. He was truly the one and only edition of himself, who never left behind his beloved Irish roots. More indicative of Tim Fallon's life than any tangible legacy of research manuscripts/ papers/ tape-recordings,and conference tran- scriptions is the human legacy he has left behind of those whose personal development has been profoundly shaped by his Socratic method, his Irish humor and satire, and his burning love of truth. He will be fondly rememberedand greatly missedby all who knew him - by former studentsand colleagueswhose responseto the philosophical calling was sparked and ever rekindled by his presence,and by many more whose spirits were touched with agapeby the priest, philosopher, and teacher whom Bernard Lonergan dubbed "Father Love." May the road rise up to meetyou, may the wind be akaaysat your back, may the sun shinewarm upon your face, and the rains faII soft upon your fields, and until we meetagain, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. THOMAS MCPARTLAND Whitney Young College Kentucky StateUniversity C A LL FO R S U B M I S S IO N S The editors of MrrHoD: lournal of LonerganStudies are pleasedto announcethat the Fall, 1995issue will be a symposium on the toPic TOPOGRAPHYAND ECONOMY OF CONSCIOUSNESS and to invite submissionof articles for that issue. Lonergan is not the only thinker to have offered an account of the structures of human consciousness,and critical examination of simi- larities and differences between his position and others can be expected to promote clarity. This is especially so in the light of recent discussion 'levels 'sub- about the meaning and number of of consciousness'and of lations' in Lonergan's thinking. Articles focusing on or developing Lonergan's own views - on such notions as consciousnessand intentionality; operators, operations, and integrators; content and acti differentiations of consciousness;and worlds, realms, and stagesof meaning- as well as articles engaging other thinkers in dialogue with Lonergan will be considered for publi cation in the forthcoming issue of METH)D devoted to this important area of inquiry.

  • International Institute for Method in Theology, Newsletter 1
    Newsletter 1 International Institute for Method in Theology September 2018 The International Institute for Method in Theology was launched at a colloquium held at Marquette University in March of 2017. The Institute is sponsored by the Marquette Lonergan Project, the Lonergan Research Institute of Regis College in the University of Toronto, and the Faculty of Theology at the Gregorian University, Rome. Representatives of all three institutions were present at the colloquium: Robert M. Doran, S.J., from Marquette, Eric Mabry, Interim Director of the Lonergan Research Institute, and Gerard Whelan, S.J., Professor of Theology at the Gregorian University. In the lecture that he presented at the colloquium, Robert Doran, Emmett Doerr Chair in Catholic Systematic Theology and Director of the Marquette Lonergan Project, narrated how the founding of the Institute is the long-term result of a suggestion that he had made to a Canadian Jesuit Provincial, Reverend William Addley, S.J., in 1984. Doran was living in Toronto at the time, teaching and writing at Regis College in the University of Toronto. The suggestion led to the establishment by Fr Addley of the Lonergan Research Institute. Recent research in the Frederick Crowe Archives at the LRI reveals how this new project of an Institute for Method in Theology was a part of the original vision of the LRI when it was founded. It was put on hold because the principal efforts of the LRI from its inception centered around the publication of Lonergan’s Collected Works with University of Toronto Press and the cataloguing and preservation of Lonergan’s archival papers.

MILLER submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosopy August 2008 © copyright by MARK THOMAS MILLER 2008 Abstract Why the Passion?: Bernard Lonergan, S.J. on the Cross as Communication by Mark T. Miller, directed by Frederick Lawrence This dissertation aims at understanding Bernard Lonergan’s understanding of how the passion of Jesus Christ is salvific. Because salvation is of human persons in a community, a history, and a cosmos, the first part of the dissertation examines Lonergan’s cosmology with an emphasis on his anthropology. For Lonergan the cosmos is a dynamic, interrelated hierarchy governed by the processes of what he calls “emergent probability.” Within the universe of emergent probability, humanity is given the ability to direct world processes with critical intelligence, freedom, love, and cooperation with each other and with the larger world order. This ability is not totally undirected. Rather, it has a natural orientation, a desire or eros for ultimate goodness, truth, beauty, and love, i.e. for God. When made effective through an authentic, recurrent cycle of experience, questioning, understanding, judgment, decision, action, and cooperation, this human desire for God results in progress.

  • University at Buffalo Department of Philosophy Nousletter Interview with Jorge Gracia
    University at Buffalo Department of Philosophy Nousletter Interview with Jorge Gracia Jorge Gracia is a polymath. He works in metaphysics/ontology, philosophical historiography, philosophy of language/hermeneutics, ethnicity/race/nationality issues, Hispanic/Latino issues, medieval/scholastic philosophy, Cuban and Argentinian art, and Borges. Gracia’s earliest work was in medieval philosophy. His more than three decades of contributions to medieval philosophy were recently recognized by his being named the winner of the most prestigious award in the field in 2011, the American Catholic Philosophical Association’s Aquinas Medal. That put him in the ranks of Jacques Maritain, Etienne Gilson, Bernard Lonergan, Joseph Owens, G. E. M. Anscombe, Peter Geach, Michael Dummett, John Finnis, Brian Davies, Anthony Kenny, Alisdair McIntyre and one Pope, Karol Wojtyla, and now one saint. Even after Gracia redirected some of his intellectual energies into other branches of philosophy, UB was still being ranked by the Philosophical Gourmet Report (PGR) as one of the best schools in medieval philosophy: 13th in 2006 and in the 15-20 range in 2008. If there were PGR rankings for Latin American philosophy or the philosophy of race and ethnicity, Jorge Gracia’s work would have enabled us to be highly ranked in those fields, higher, I suspect, than UB is in any other philosophical specialization. In the 2010 Blackwell Companion to Latin American Philosophy, Gracia was listed as one of the 40 most important figures in Latin American philosophy since the year 1500! Gracia is also one of the leaders in the emerging field of the philosophy of race and ethnicity.

  • New Directions for Catholic Theology. Bernard Lonergan's Move Beyond
    JHMTh/ZNThG; 2019 26(1): 108–131 Benjamin Dahlke New Directions for Catholic Theology. Bernard Lonergan’s Move beyond Neo-Scholasticism DOI https://doi.org/10.1515/znth-2019-0005 Abstract: Wie andere aufgeschlossene Fachvertreter seiner Generation hat der kanadische Jesuit Bernard Lonergan (1904–1984) dazu beigetragen, die katho- lische Theologie umfassend zu erneuern. Angesichts der oenkundigen Gren- zen der Neuscholastik, die sich im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts als das Modell durchgesetzt hatte, suchte er schon früh nach einer Alternative. Bei aller Skep- sis gegenüber dem herrschenden Thomismus schätzte er Thomas von Aquin in hohem Maß. Das betraf insbesondere dessen Bemühen, die damals aktuellen wissenschaftlichen und methodischen Erkenntnisse einzubeziehen. Lonergan wollte dies ebenso tun. Es ging ihm darum, der katholischen Theologie eine neue Richtung zu geben, also von der Neuscholastik abzurücken. Denn diese berücksichtigte weder das erkennende Subjekt noch das zu erkennende Objekt hinreichend. Keywords: Bernard Lonergan, Jesuits, Neo-Scholasticism, Vatican II, Thomism Bernard Lonergan (1904–1984), Canadian-born Jesuit, helped to foster the re- newal of theology as it took place in the wake of Vatican II, as well in the council’s aftermath. He was aware of the profound changes the discipline was going through. Since the customary way of presenting the Christian faith – usu- ally identified with Neo-Scholasticism – could no longer be considered adequate, Lonergan had been working out an alternative approach. It was his intent to provide theology with new foundations that led him to incorporate contem- porary methods of science and scholarship into theological practice. Faith, as he thought, should be made intelligible to the times.1 Thus, Lonergan moved beyond the borders set up by Neo-Scholasticism.

  • Lonergan Gatherings 7
    James Gerard Duffy Words, don't come easy to me How can I find a way to make you see I Love You Words don't come easy1 Introduction Recently I saw the movie “Suite Française” (2014), a drama set in in the early years of the German occupation of France which portrays a developing romance between a French villager awaiting news of her husband and a dapper, refined German soldier who composes music. In the initial half dozen or so scenes they cannot speak to one another, for he is a German officer with a responsibility to follow orders, while she lives under the thumb of her controlling mother-in-law who forbids her to interact with the enemy. But they have already met in a shared love of music and in a few wordless encounters. How, then, are they going to meet, protect, and greet each other? In this essay my aim is threefold. In the first section I briefly comment on my experience of meeting, protecting, and greeting undergraduates and graduate students in the last twenty years in the United States and Mexico. In particular I focus on two questions: “What do you want?” and “What do we want?” In the second section I suggest some ways to implement heuristics in order to ask these two questions patiently and humbly. In the third and final section I respond to McShane’s claim in Lonergan Gatherings 6 regarding ‘the unashamed shamefulness’ of leading figures in Lonergan studies. 1 “Words Don’t Come Easy,” F.R.

  • Going Beyond Essentialism: Bernard J.F. Lonergan an Atypical Neo
    “The New Alliance: IISF ISTITUTO ITALIANO PER GLI STUDI FILOSOFICI the Role of the Italian Institute for Philosophical Studies” Ten years after the publication of La Nouvelle Alliance, I can say that a rapprochement between physical sciences and the humanities has been facilitated thanks also to the Italian Institute for Philosophical Studies. The Italian lnstitute for Philosophical Studies is an example of such rapprochement in the name of humanism. The Institute, in fact, studies the traditional problems of philosophy as well as the classical problems of science. In this sense, the Neapolitan Institute plays a very important role in Europe. Let me express a few words of admiration for Avv. Gerardo Marotta. I would like to say how impressed I am by the breadth of his work: seminars, publications, conferences, whose mere enumeration occupies volumes of thick books. It is also the variety of subjects that is so extraordinary: from history and philology to physics and mathematics. Thanks to your enthusiasm, and GOING BEYOND ESSENTIALISM: your generosity, dear Avv. Marotta, the Institute has set an example of what humanism BERNARD J.F. LONERGAN can be today. Your Institute does no longer belong to Italy alone. It is also an intellectual treasure of Europe as a whole. AN ATYPICAL NEO-SCHOLASTIC In the current process of rapprochement of natural sciences and the humanities, I believe Europe has a very special role to play. When I travel the world, whether to the edited by United States or to Japan, I see much interest in science, although in science too often CLOE TADDEI-FERRETTI viewed as a technological, economic, or even military instrument.
