The Fact Book is intended to serve as a reference for information about the University’s faculty, students, alumni, personnel, facilities, and budget. Although the Fact Book is generally published annually, this current edition is the first to be published since the 2000-2001 Fact Book was released in August 2001. The 2002-2003 Boston College Fact Book reflects year-end data from the 2001-2002 fiscal and academic years. In certain in- stances, information relating to the fall of 2002 (academic year 2002-2003) is presented. Much of the information contained in the Fact Book is cumulative and references annual data for the preceding five or ten year period. Other information is presented in a single year format. Because of the gap in publication of the Fact Book, single-year data for the 2000-2001 fiscal and academic years has been preserved in the 2001-2002 Supplemental Edition, accessible on the Web at http://www.bc.edu/factbook. We are grateful to the many departments and individuals who provided data for this book - the 30th edition of the Fact Book. The majority of the information is extracted from reports produced on a regular basis by the various source offices.

  • 1 Understanding Aristotle Lonergan Institute for the “Good Under
    1 Understanding Aristotle Lonergan Institute for the “Good Under Construction” In Aristotle, there are not two sets of objects but two approaches to one set. Theory is concerned with what is prior in itself but posterior for us; but everyday human knowledge is concerned with what is prior for us though posterior in itself. But, though Aristotle by beguilingly simple analogies could set up a properly systematic metaphysics, his contrast was not between theory and common sense as we understand these terms but between episteme and doxa, between sophia and phronesis, between necessity and contingence...in Aristotle the sciences are conceived not as autonomous but as prolongations of philosophy and as further determinations of the basic concepts philosophy provides. So it is that, while Aristotelian psychology is not without profound insight into human sensibility and intelligence, still its basic concepts are derived not from intentional consciousness but from metaphysics. Thus “soul” does not mean “subject” but “the first act of an organic body” whether of a plant, an animal, or a man.44 Similarly, the notion of “object” is not derived from a consideration of intentional acts; on the contrary, just as potencies are to be conceived by considering their acts, so acts are to be conceived by considering their objects, i.e. their efficient or final causes.45 As in psychology, so too in physics, the basic concepts are metaphysical. As an agent is principle of movement in the mover, so a nature is principle of movement in the moved. But agent is agent because it is in act.
