Lonergan?

[Alan]

What do orthodox Thomists think about Bernard Lonergan (
http://www.bernardlonergan.com/ )? Many people compare him with
Rahner, but Lonergan didn't think it fair to be classified with him.
Lonergan came out of Toronto, as did the excellent philosophers De
Koninck, Maurer, et al.

Is Lonergan worth reading? His Insight: A Study of Human Understanding
(1957), especially the chapter entitled "Isomorphism of Thomist and
Scientific Thought", seems interesting. His Method in Theology (1972),
an attack on the Scholastic approach to theology, seems heterodox,
however.

Thanks

He's not a scholastic Thomist, as you mentioned in your last sentence.  Also, whether or not he wants to be classified together with Rahner, he does fall into the category of transcendental Thomist, insofar as he buys into Kantian presuppositions in order to respond to them along Thomistic lines.  The whole approach of transcendental Thomism has been deemed  by traditional and non-traditional Thomists alike to be a failure, as something more Kantian than Thomistic.   Cf. Gilson, Methodical Realism.
