Classical culture cannot be jettisoned without being replaced; and what replaces it cannot but run counter to classical expectations. There is bound to be formed a solid right that is determined to live in a world that no longer exists. There is bound to be formed a scattered left, captivated by now this, now that new development, exploring now this and now that new possibility. But what will count is perhaps a not too numerous center, big enough to be at home in both the old and the new, painstaking enough to work out one by one the transitions to be made, strong enough to refuse half measures and insist on complete solutions even though it has to wait.
Bernard Lonergan, SJ

- ....the Australian Lonergan Workshop embraces contributions from theology, philosophy, ethics, economics and business and natural science. Just as is found at Lonergan gatherings around the world, people from diverse fields of scholarship can talk with each other, not at each other. This is because we follow some simple precepts, "be attentive, be intelligent, be reasonable, be responsible and be in love" - and we have learned from Bernard Lonergan how to put these simple but wide-ranging precepts into action.
