Résumé
--
This book is devoted to the English-speaking Canadian philosopher and theologian Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984). A Jesuit, he is considered in his continent to be one of the great contemporary thinkers. Bernard Lonergan is a man with a project: to reconcile faith and reason and a man with a discovery: the essential role of conversion, whether it may be intellectual, moral or religious, in the process of truth. His theory of objectivity strives to reconcile classic metaphysics with the modern gnoseology emerging from the philosophy of the subject. Its aim is to unify the fields of experience of norm and absolute. The unlimited nature of what is there for man to see makes him aware that his existence is founded on an unconditional entity of a primordial nature to which he gives the name God. And in his faith, which is the transfiguration of his desire to be, man discovers that God names himself and causes him 'to exist in love'. Using metaphorical imagery, La Presqu'île du divin indicates the depth of Bernard Lonergan's discovery at the heart of human intelligence, of his procedure, his desire to be and to know. A Transcendent being is not confined within his own immanence, but the movement of his immanence makes him realize that his existence signifies something. This book hopes to make better known in France a philosophy that attempts both to break down bastions and to reach beyond the usual frontiers traced between philosophy and theology, between reason and faith, between culture and faith, through the Eros of the human spirit.
