Editorial Notes
This work now being offered is the 1st Internet
edition of Fr. Brian Cronin’s Foundations of Philosophy: Lonergan’s
Cognitional Theory and Epistemology, written primarily as an introduction
to the first half of Fr. Bernard Lonergan’s Insight: A Study of Human
Understanding. The print edition first appeared in 1999 as a publication
of the Consolata Institute of Philosophy, based in Nairobi, Kenya (PO
Box 49789). Hence, it is not readily available for purchase in Europe
or America although orders for purchase can now be placed with the Newman
Bookstore in Washington, D.C. The full postal address is as follows: Newman
Bookstore; 3329 8th Street NE; Washington, D.C.; 20017; U.S.A.;
tel. 202-526-1036. On Internet, Fr. Cronin’s book can be ordered from
the Newman Bookstore at orders@newmanbookstore.com.
In the preparation of this Internet edition, to synchronize
the pagination in tandem with the print edition for reference purposes,
numbers within square brackets have been inserted in the text to indicate
where the pages break in the print edition, as in [267] or [viii]. The
Table of Contents above has been similarly synchronized. The numbers cited
within square brackets indicate the pagination of the first print edition.
"In preparing this edition, many thanks are owed to Mr. Robert
Gumm, Mr. Jaime Gonzales, Mr. Timothy Dobiac, Mr. James Werner, and Mr. William
Koerber. Bob introduced the pagination with square brackets to synchronize
this Internet edition with the print edition; Jaime initiated the process of
file conversion for Internet publication; Tim converted almost all the files
into html format; Jim scanned and inserted images for those chapters with diagrams and tables; and Kin completed this process and edited the remaining
chapters prior to posting."
