For Tracy, whose book The Achievement of Bernard Lonergan will be published next month, Lonergan means: "You can't cheat. You know what is demanded of real thinking." Michael Novak finds Lonergan's importance...
...heart a simple method but, like Jesus' great commandment of love, it is not easy. Critics who say that it offers too many answers do not grasp the essential Lonergan. What he may offer, for many people, is too many challenges. Despite the promise of an ultimate horizon, there is in that offer no solid assurance of an answer that can be grasped in mortal life. There is only the tantalizing guarantee of a continuing question...
