Abstract
In this dissertation I study the writings of and some biographical data concerning Bernard Lonergan in the years 1938-53. I find sufficient evidence to suggest that the following hypothesis is verified: in the years 1940-53, Lonergan continued to hold the dialectic of history as a concern of central importance. However, I find that this concern must often be considered more an underlying concern than one to which Lonergan often explicitly refers. This creates a methodological challenge for this dissertation: how does one study an "underlying concern?" I try to pay careful attention to what I am doing methodologically and to state this clearly. I believe that a helpful way to introduce this question is to compare my work with that of Michael Shute.
