MARK YOUR CALENDARSLonergan Events 2011-2012
In the fall of 2009 and again in the fall of 2010, two events were sponsored at Marquette University which merited a commitment to ongoing continuity. In September of both 2009 and 2010, the Lonergan Society of Marquette University, a group of graduate students in theology and philosophy, sponsored a graduate student conference ‘Lonergan on the Edge,’ featuring a number of student speakers from up to 9 universities in the U.S. and Canada. And later in the fall each year, the Marquette Lonergan Project sponsored the first two colloquia on ‘Doing Catholic Systematic Theology in a Multi-Religious World.’
These two events will be sponsored again in the fall of 2011, and a third event, a colloquium on Lonergan, Philosophy, and Theology, will be sponsored in the spring of 2012.
A call for papers for ‘Lonergan on the Edge’ has already been issued. The fall colloquium, which in 2009 focused on the mission of the Holy Spirit in a multi-religious world, and in 2010 focused on the mission of the Word in the context of interreligious dialogue and understanding, will center attention this year on the mission of the Church, again in the same context.
The new colloquium, Lonergan, Philosophy, and Theology, is scheduled for March 1 and 2, 2012. All of these events will be held in the Beaumier Suites B and C in the Raynor Memorial Libraries. The schedule of these events is as follows.
LONERGAN ON THE EDGE: A Graduate Student Conference Sponsored by the Lonergan Society of Marquette University, September 16-18 2010. Special attention to the topic ‘Lonergan as a Reader of Aquinas’
DOING CATHOLIC SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY IN A MULTI-RELIGIOUS WORLD: The Third Annual Colloquium Sponsored by the Marquette Lonergan Project, November 2-3 2011. Major papers by Robert M. Doran, S.J., Marquette University; John D. Dadosky, Regis College, University of Toronto; and Susan Wood, S.C.L., Marquette University. Each lecture will be followed by a panel discussion and open conversation. Panelists will be invited from faculty at Marquette and other schools and from Marquette graduate students in theology.
LONERGAN, PHILOSOPHY, AND THEOLOGY: The First Annual Colloquium on this topic, March 1 and 2, 2012. Major papers by Mark Morelli, Loyola Marymount University, ‘Lonergan and Hegel’; Michael Sharkey, University of Wisconsin – Platteville, ‘Lonergan and Heidegger’; and William Rehg, S.J., Saint Louis University, ‘Lonergan and Habermas.’ Again, each lecture will be followed by a panel discussion and open conversation, with panelists invited from philosophy and theology departments at Marquette and elsewhere.

Addition of article, Matthew Peters, Scotus: An Initial Lonerganian Treatment
Matthew Peters is taken by Lonergan's comment "Five hundred years separate Hegel from Scotus ... That notable interval of time was largely devoted to working out in a variety of manners the possibilities of the assumption that knowing consists in taking a look. The ultimate conclusion was that it did not and could not." This article represents Peters' initial foray into the writings of Scotus with that historical comment in mind. It appears here under "Scholarly Works / Articles."Additions to Doran, Essays in Systematic Theology, week of February 21 2011
Robert M. Doran, Essays in Systematic Theology 31: The Four ENTIA SUPERNATURALIA: Expanding the 1957 Hypothesis with Earlier Course Notes. This is a copy of the paper Doran read at the West Coast Methods Institute meeting at Loyola Marymount University in April 2009. It was his first effort to introduce Lonergan's 1951-52 notes into the discussion of the so-called four-point hypothesis of 1957 linking the four divine relations with four created participations/imitations. Reference is made to Doran's initial article on the question of transposing categories of grace, "Consciousness and Grace" (now the first of these Essays)and of the link between the 1951-52 notes and the position put forward in that article.Additions to Doran, Essays in Systematic Theology, week of February 7 2011
