Philosophical Encounters

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the philosophical thought of Bernard Lonergan, Joseph Fitzpatrick explores the contrasts and commonalities between Lonergan and the analytical school. By setting up direct confrontations between key figures like Wittgenstein and Russell, the author reveals both spirited debates and unexpected agreements, particularly in their departure from Cartesian philosophy. The book defends Lonergan against typical critiques and highlights influential ideas shaping his unique perspective. It includes a glossary, making it accessible for readers interested in both Lonergan's philosophy and analytical traditions.
