Insight and Analysis applies Bernard Lonergan's thought to current issues in philosophy and in moral and other areas of theology. The common theme of the book is seen in the thread running through the chapters: a dialogue and critical comparison and contrast between Lonergan's thought and various key interlocutors in philosophy and theology. The title of this book, Insight and Analysis, suggestsits main focus - Lonergan and analytical philosophy - but also references one of Lonergan's most influential works: Insight: A Study of Human Understanding. The chapters which explorethe implications of Lonergan's thought for current work in analytical philosophy include discussions of Dummett, Wittgenstein, Searle, MacIntyre, Mackie, and Hintikka. However, Andrew Beards also brings Lonergan into dialogue with the continental tradition, with an extensive chapter on Badiou. Chapters on fundamental moral theology, Rahner's philosophy, and interculturality and the writings of (the then) Cardinal Ratzinger indicate the importance of Lonergan as a philosophical theologian. Insight and Analysispresents a wide-rangingreassessment of the impact and application of Lonergan's thought.

"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. 'This book will be controversial. Yet despite its penetrating analysis, Beards always shows a deep respect for his interlocutors. It is this that makes this wide ranging collection applying Lonergan's thought to various philosophies well worth the effort.' -New Blackfriars
