Description
Summary:Some have taken Bernard Lonergan's statements about the differences between the presentation of decision in Insight and the chapter on the human good in Method in Theology to mean that chapter 18 of Insight is to be discarded in favor of chapter 2 of Method. The paper argues that there is a validity to both presentations, a validity that corresponds to the third (Insight) and second (Method) modes of making an election in the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius. A concluding suggestions relates the second mode of election and Method's presentation of decision to René Girard's mimetic theory. Alcuni comprendono le affermazioni di Bernard Lonergan, circa le differenze tra la presentazione della decisione in Insight e quella nel capitolo sul bene umano in Method in Theology, in modo tale che il capitolo 18 di Insight venga scartato a favore del capitolo 2 del Method. L'articolo sostiene che entrambe le presentazioni possiedono una loro validità, che corrisponde al terzo (Insight) e al secondo (Method) modo di fare un elezione negli Esercizi spirituali di Ignazio di Loyola. Una proposta conclusiva mette in relazione il secondo modo di fare un'elezione nella presentazione del Method con la teoria mimetica di René Girard.
