Summary

"The very core of all the achievements of Bernard J.F. Lonergan is the exercise of self-appropriation. By a conscious self-possession of one's dynamic interiority one is enabled to transcend one's own subjectivity to the real world of human subjects for an authentic and meaningful human existence. This study outlines the process of personally appropriating the cognitional dynamism of human consciousness, inquires into the foundational character of this exercise in Lonergan and draws out its important implications for contemporary thought and life. The exercise of self-appropriation is shown to shape one's philosophical convictions, to provide the basic principles of one's personal authenticity and development and to equip the human subject with the basic directives for a creative, collaborative and methodical search for truth."--Jacket
