What is Lonergan Up to in "Insight"? by Terry J Tekippe
A Primer
For those in teaching who are convinced that Lonergan's ideas are of fundamental importance for discussions in theology and philosophy, the sense of frustration at there being so little published which makes his thought accessible to students is inevitableOne must therefore be grateful to Father Terry Tekippe for a book to which he has brought both long acquaintance with Lonergan's thought, and the skills of someone who for a number of years has been passionately committed to sharing Lonergan's insights with others.Andrew Beards, Ushaw College, Durham, United Kingdom
With lots of examples, stories and dialogues, this book achieves what it purports to do, that is, to introduce readers to Insight in a simple, unpretentious, and yet 'insightful' way. Tekippe never loses sight of his readers, of their likely reactions, difficulties, objections. Tekippe writes with clarity, conviction and humor. This book can be used as a first introduction to some major philosophers, such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, [and] Kant. Some questions are wisely left open, as invitations to continue the inquiry.Louis Roy, O.P., Boston College
