SURF
A series of thirteen essays directed towards making a beginning in functional collaboration. This series begins with Lonergan’s suggestion about transposing the subtleties of interpretation in Insight chapter 17 into a functional context. In the first essay McShane comments on three possible meanings of SURF―Sally Up Round Freely; Seeking an Understanding of the Reach of Finitude; and Sensibility’s Upgrading its Relating to Forms.
