Bernard Lonergan's economic writings span forty years and represent one of the most important intellectual achievements of the twentieth century. Unfortunately they have been inaccessible outside of the Lonergan research community as the majority of them have not been formally published, and exist only as a group of unfinished essays and material for courses on economics taught by Lonergan. The publication of For a New Political Economy, along with its companion volume, Macroeconomic Dynamics: An Essay in Circulation Analysis (Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan, Volume 15), seeks to remedy this by bringing together the various elements of Lonergan's economic thought.Lonergan's concept of economics differs radically from that of contemporary economists and represent a major paradigm shift. He takes a fresh look at fundamental variables and breaks from centralist theory and practice, offering a uniquely democratic perspective on surplus income and non-political control. For a New Political Economy is a collection of drafts, notes, and essays written by Lonergan in the 1940s on various aspects of economics. This volume provides the intellectual underpinnings of ideas more fully explored in Macroeconomic Dynamics.Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), a professor of theology, taught at Regis College, Harvard University, and Boston College. An established author known for his Insight and Method in Theology, Lonergan received numerous honorary doctorates, was a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1971 and was named as an original members of the International Theological Commission by Pope Paul VI.

A Third Collection: Volume 16 (Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan)

A Third Collection, prepared for the Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan by editors Robert M. Doran and John D. Dadosky, is a helpful companion to volumes four and thirteen in the series. The volume contains fifteen papers, written between 1974 and 1982, and includes some of his most important shorter writings such as "Prolegomena to the Study of the Emerging Religious Consciousness of Our Time" and "Natural Right and Historical Mindedness."The relevant archival entries are specified, so that readers can consult them. The papers in this volume rehearse in a new key the themes of a lifetime. Without in any way going back on the major emphases of Lonergan's early work – cognitional theory and then the exploration of a fourth, existential level of consciousness – they are focused more on love and on the movement from above downwards in consciousness. Community is emphasized as the context and the fruit of the emergence of authentic subjects.

Archival Material: Early Papers on History, Volume 25 (Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan)

Review\nArchival Material: Early Papers on History finds its rightful place in the series, since it expands, explains, and is a commentary upon a central developing preoccupation throughout Lonergan's oeuvre: 'progress, decline, and redemption.' - Andrew Beards, academic director at the School of the Annunciation, UK\nThese early essays, in addition to exhibiting the brilliance of the young Lonergan, reveal much about the concerns and problems which motivated Lonergan's lifelong effort to develop a method for theology. As Hegel's early theological writings anticipated his entire mature system, so these early papers illuminate Lonergan's life project in a way that none of his other early writings do. - Mark D. Morelli, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Director, Los Angeles Lonergan Center, Loyola Marymount University\nThis collection of papers provides a snapshot of Lonergan's early development. As such, it represents part of what informs the more widely known thinking of Insight and Method in Theology. Every student of Lonergan wants to know the whole story and would be grateful to have this volume at the ready. - Jim Kanaris, School of Religious Studies, McGill University\nIn the mid- to late-1930s, while he was a student at the Gregorian University in Rome, Bernard Lonergan wrote a series of eight essays on the philosophy and theology of history. These essays foreshadow a number of the major themes in his life’s work.\nThe significance of these essays is enormous, not only for an understanding of the later trajectory of Lonergan’s own work but also for the development of a contemporary systematic theology. In an important entry from 1965 in his archival papers, Lonergan wrote that the "mediated object" of systematics is Geschichte or the history that is lived and written about. In the same entry, he stated that the "doctrines" that this systematic theology would attempt to understand are focused on "redemption." The seeds of such a theology are planted in the current volume, where the formulae that are so pronounced in his later work first appear. Students of Lonergan’s work will find their understanding of his philosophy profoundly affected by the essays in this volume.
