"I find this an enormously impressive work. It appears to me that there are few tasks that are more important than bringing Lonergan's thought to bear on the myriad problems of our culture to which it is relevant. Beards does more effectively than any other author known to me the work of relating Lonergan's philosophy and theory of knowledge to the preoccupations and concerns of contemporary analytical philosophers; but he seems equally at home in 'continental' thinking. His attitude, invariably appreciative yet critical, is ideal for the task in hand; his erudition is formidable. His style, serene, limpid and unpretentious, is a model for philosophical exposition." -- Hugo Meynell, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, the University of Calgary, Canada.
