About the author
Born in Buckingham, Quebec, in 1904, Bernard Lonergan entered the Society of Jesus after studying at Loyola College in Montreal. He went on to study in England and Rome, and his long academic career included teaching and research in philosophy and theology.
He is best known for Insight: A Study of Human Understanding and Method in Theology. In these works, he explored how human understanding works and how careful thinking can shape fields from philosophy and theology to history and even economics.
Lonergan taught at institutions including the Pontifical Gregorian University, Regis College in Toronto, Harvard University, and Boston College. He died in 1984, and he remains an important figure for readers interested in big questions about knowledge, faith, and intellectual method.
