56 Jurist 25 (1996)
Law and Insight

handle is hein.journals/juristcu56 and id is 35 raw text is: THE JURIST 56 (1996) 25-40 LAW AND INSIGHT FREDERICK E. CROWE, S.J.* Law and insight are two areas of study that have been for many years the interest of the scholar we are honoring in this volume. His interest in law, of course, needs no proof or documentation. His interest in insight, and in the cognitional theory of Bernard Lonergan in general, is probably not so well known, but it is one that I share with him, and so I venture a little way into the unknown to try to relate these two interests of Fr. Orsy and to carry forward a line of thought that has engaged his attention through most of his career.' Whatever be the success or failure of my own venture, I am confident that the topic itself is close to the center of his concerns, and will not be alien to the purpose of this volume. The study I propose to make will unfold in the following steps: (1) the general role of insight in human living, (2) the role of insight in the sphere of human action, and (3) the role of insight in the realm of * S.T.D. (Gregorian University, 1953); Cofounder, Lonergan Research Institute, Toronto, Canada. 1 See, for example, the following references in Fr. Orsy's writings: The Canons on Ecclesiastical Laws Revisited: Glossae on Canons 8-24, THE JURIST 37 (1977) 112-159; How to Relate Theology and Canon Law, Origins 22/32 (January 21, 1993) 549-552; Legal Judgment and Legal Education: Philosophical Reflections and Prac- tical Suggestions, THE JURIST 38 (1978) 1-47; Lonergan's Cognitional Theory and Foundational Issues in Canon Law: Method, Philosophy and Law, Theology and Canon Law, Studia Canonica 13 (1979) 177-243; The Meaning of Novus Habitus Mentis: The Search for New Horizons, THE JURIST 48 (1988) 529-547. There are other articles showing Lonergan's influence; there are several reviews of Lonergan literature; there are bibliographical comments on this literature in his own book, The Evolving Church and the Sacrament of Penance (Denville, NJ: Dimension Books, 1978) 199, 202, 206- 207, 209; there is his book, Blessed Are Those Who Have Questions (Denville, NJ: Dimension Books, 1976); and most of all, there is his most recent book, Theology and Canon Law: New Horizons for Legislation and Interpretation (Collegeville, MN: Li- turgical Press, 1992).
