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. The deadline for submitting articles for the symposium issue is March 75, L995.Printouts should be double-spacedthroughout (including fooc notes), and should conform to the stylistic conventions used in this journal. Three copiesshould be submitted, and may be sent to METHjD: Journalof LonerganStudies at either of these addresses: c/o Prof. Mark Morelli c/o Prof. Patrick Byrne Department of Philosophy Department of Philosophy Loyola Marymount UniversitY CarneyHall 216 Loyola Blvd. at W. 80th St. Boston College Los Angeles,CA 90045 ChestnutHill, MA 02167 LONERGAN WORKSHOP VOLUME1O EDITEDBY FRED LAWRENCE ,.THELEGACY OF LONERGAN'' PAPERSFROM THE TWENTIETH ANNUAL LONERGANWORKSHOP PATRTCKBYRNE:
