5.0 out of 5 starsblew my mind
By Mark Miller on April 13, 2006
Format: Paperback
This book was introduced to me 14 years ago, in an undergrad theology class called, "Struggle and Transcendence" (at Georgetown). The class looked at the African-American experience and sought solutions to the concrete problem of living in that community and the human community in general.

At the time I was an international relations major. My friends and I constantly debated political theory, social policy, foreign policy, etc. We were wondering, What is the best way to live in this increasingly global community? Debates were heated. Often the debate came down to the question, How do you know? On issues from genocide, (neo)colonialism, and development, to abortion, welfare, medical care, different people emphasized different sources of truth: experience, reason, feelings, tradition, culture, scripture, science, love, faith, belief, imagination, experts, etc. When I read Method, I thought, the debate is over; this is how you know. Lonergan values all of the above sources of knowledge, and goes further to show how all of the ways are related and involved in anything we do, from playing soccer to doing theology.

The other thing I loved about Method was its emphasis on love. Studying the causes of international conflicts led me to think that the root of conflict was a personal lack of self-love, or a conditional ground for self-love. "I will love myself IF I have these people's respect, or this pretty wife, or money, or property, etc., or IF I'm better than this person or all people." We put other people down to raise ourselves up. I believed that right relations among humans needed to be founded on unconditional love, on a right relationship with God and oneself.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsIn-depth philosophy and theology combined!
By Nicholas A. Zientarski on February 19, 2000
Format: Paperback
Many will find this book to be diffiuclt to read. The language is very rich and full of reference to various areas of philosophy. This book would be recommended for intermediate to advanced students of theology and philosophy. Lonergan, one of the greatest of the Jesuit philosophers of the twentieth century, has written this volume to give a "method" to understanding some of the major philosophical elements which give a structure to the understanding and doing of theology. Take your time in reading this book and reflect... it's the best way to understand it!

5.0 out of 5 starsProfound, yet comprehensive knowledge
By Ricardo Medina Covarrubias on September 19, 2001
Format: Paperback
This book not only focuses on Theology as a science dealing with the concept and relation to God within different cultural matrixes, but clearly states concepts as human good, progress and decadence. Essential reading for everyone interested in philosphy, ethics or sociology. If you will be reading it by your own, I'd classify it as Master Degree level.

5.0 out of 5 starsLonergan at his finest
By Francis Xavier Brownstein on March 24, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Great introduction to Bernard Lonergan. Nice that this older reprint still exists. The new critical editions, as useful as they may be to the scholar are cost prohibitive to the novice. Thank you the university of Toronto for keeping this now oldie in print.

5.0 out of 5 starsGuide to philosophical inquiry.
By Ricardo Garcia on September 16, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is a brilliant investigation on method in philosophy, is a complement work of Insight, but in itself "method" is a real and profound guide about understanding. Highly recommend this book because for me it is a "formulary" which you can constantly turn and always brings fresh and interesting ideas.
