General Resources on the GEM

This section contains a selection of Bernard Lonergan's works, other general works on Lonergan and on GEM, as well as biographies. It is to be noted that shortly after his publication of Insight in 1957 Lonergan referred to his focus as "transcendental method." Later on, he began to refer to it as "generalized empirical method." (See Andrew Beards, "Generalized Empirical Method," The Lonergan Review, Vol. III, 33 - 87).
