Disputing Quests
The context of this series, written between September 2016 and May 2017, is the second half of the central page 250 of Method in Theology, from line 18 to 33 (CWL 14, p. 235, lines 14 to 27), which I have named regularly Lonergan’s 1833 Overture. It describes a final tactic of the functional specialty Dialectic. It is a discomforting tactic, not just a Luther-like “Here I stand” but a blunt and precise “here you stand.” Such stand-taking and confrontation can, of course, occur at any stage in the cycle of collaborations, e.g., a historian “at pains not to conceal his tracks but to lay all his cards on the table.” Method in Theology, 193; CWL 14, 180.
