The 2024 West Coast Methods Institute
What is 'Going Forward' in History? Progress, Revolution, and the Philosophy of History
April 25-27, 2024
The theme of the 2024 annual meeting of the West Coast Methods Institute is What is 'Going Forward' in History? Progress, Revolution, and the Philosophy of History. Historical consciousness and historical understanding are central themes in Lonergan’s philosophical and theological writings. Yet his treatments of historicity and historical development also depart in important respects from broader emphases on historicism and historical consciousness in nineteenth- and twentieth-century thought.
