Method in Metaphysics combines two universes of philosophical discourse that have been formerly regarded as incommensurable. It shows clearly that the methodological and terminological gaps that have obstructed fruitful dialogue between Lonergan studies and analytic metaphysics can indeed be bridged. Andrew Beards has done a great service in producing this volume. It functions as a guidebook for those students of Lonergan's thought who wish to explore that branch of the analytic tradition that shares with Lonergan a metaphysical interest. For analytic metaphysicians, the book provides a number of tantalizing clues to the possible resolution of vexing questions.'-Mark D.
