An Introduction to the Philosophy of Bernard Lonergan

‘A first-rate introduction to a contemporary thinker of outstanding scope and real importance.’ Times Literary Supplement.
‘An excellent introductory survey which combines brevity, lucidity and adequate documentation with critical reflection … Meynell has put us in a much better position to appraise one of the genuinely creative thinkers of the philosophical theology of our time.’ The Churchman
‘A lively, general introduction to a range of Lonergan’s thinking which succeeds in presenting it in a reasonably straightforward terms with some indication of its significance in the light of better known ideas than it contains itself … very useful indeed.’ Religious Studies

In a contemporary climate that tends to dismiss philosophy as an outmoded and increasingly useless discipline, philosophers have been forced to reconsider much of what they have formerly taken for granted. Redirecting Philosophy, Hugo Meynell's reassessment of the foundations and nature of knowledge, is a compelling response to this trend.This illuminating study surveys and analysis the views of the most influential contemporary thinkers in the English-speaking world (Wittgenstein, Strawson, Searle, Popper, Feyerabend, Kuhn, Rorty, Lonergan) and in continental philosophy (Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, Foucault, Habermas). In setting those views against the background of classical philosophy, Meynell offers fresh perspectives on the basic problems that occupy philosophers today - problems such as scepticism, truth, experience, metaphysics, method, power, humane values, and the role of science.An insightful, up-to-date guide to philosophy and the theory of science, Meynell's book will be stimulating and valuable reading both in and out of the classroom.

Redirecting Philosophy: The Nature of Knowledge from Plato to Lonergan

The Nature of Aesthetic Value proposes that aesthetic goodness, the property in virtue of which works of art are valuable, is a matter of their capacity in appropriate circumstances to give satisfaction. It inquires into the nature of this satisfaction, arguing that it consists of the extension and clarification of consciousness. This provides a basis for treatment of the ancient problem of the relation between cultivation of the arts and the pursuit and maintenance of the true and the good. The book summarizes critics' judgments and arguments on literature, the visual arts, and music, testing the author's theory about the nature of aesthetic opinion.

Hugo Meynell offers a clear, straightforward overview and analysis of Bernard Lonergan's efforts to articulate and reassess Christian doctrines in light of modern science and philosophy. In the course of his study, Meynell provides both an introduction to the key writings of Lonergan (including yet untranslated works in Latin) and a specific analysis of Lonergan's views on theological method, epistemology, Christology, and the Doctrine of the Trinity.
