Informationen zum Autor John Raymaker has specialized in social ethics and in studying Buddhism during his twenty years in Japan where he taught cultural anthropology at Hosei University. He has authored and coauthored books on a possible Vatican III Council and on Bernard Lonergan. Godefroid Mombula, a native of the Congo, is a member of the Missionhurst missionary congregation. He spent several years as a missionary in the Philippines. After obtaining his PhD at the Gregorianum in Rome, he has returned to the Congo where he now directs several developmental projects. Klappentext Raymaker offers an interdisciplinary approach to Bernard Lonergan's work. He presents a series of five "feedback matrices" to situate his work within a historical context. One can best empower Lonergan's legacy through a correct understanding and implementation of how the data of human consciousness affects all human knowledge and activities.
