Description
Summary:This article explores several points for development in Bernard Lonergan’s (1904–1984) philosophical anthropology. First, it addresses the four basic desires he lists in De Redemptione and seeks to place the unrestricted desire to know in the context of those desires. Secondly, it explores the possibility of an additional intellectualist bias in addition to the four biases that Lonergan explicated. Thirdly, it brings Lonergan’s notion of love into dialogue with C.S. Lewis’s The Four Loves in order to clarify and fill in some of the gaps in Lonergan’s treatment of love.
