| Summary: | Both René Descartes and Bernard Lonergan were educated at Jesuit schools in their youth, and both had exposure - the former perhaps indirectly, the latter directly - to Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises. Several scholars have outlined parallels between Descartes’s Meditations on First Philosophy and the Exercises. This article reviews those parallels, and then uses them as guides for exploring traces of the Meditations in Lonergan’s Insight: A Study of Human Understanding |
