Frederick G. Lawrence is an American hermeneutic philosopher and theologian, and a specialist in Bernard Lonergan, teaching in the Department of Theology at Boston College, Boston, USA.〔Arthur Madigan, “Catholic Philosophers in the U.S.,” ''The Sheed & Ward Anthology of Catholic Philosophy'', ed. James C. Swindal and Harry J. Gensler, SJ. (Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2005) 556-7.〕〔http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/theology/faculty/flawrence.html〕 == Life == Fred Lawrence (as he is popularly known) is married to Sue Lawrence. He has been running the annual Lonergan Workshop at Boston College for the last many years, and is editor of the ''Lonergan Workshop'', which publishes the proceedings. He also convened the First and Second International Lonergan Conferences at Rome (2001) and Toronto (2004). Having been a student of Bernard Lonergan's at the Gregorian University, Rome, he is today one of the foremost interpreters of Lonergan's thought, and an acknowledged hermeneutical philosopher in his own right. He did his PhD on the 'unlikely topic' of the hermeneutical circle in the thought of Gadamer and Lonergan. The thesis had the unique distinction of being appreciated by both thinkers.〔B. Lonergan, "A Requested Review of the Writings of Frederick Lawrence," ''Divyadaan: Journal of Philosophy and Education'' 19/1-2 (2008) 269-282.〕 Unfortunately, it has still to be published, though a copy is available at the Lonergan Centre, Boston College, and in microfilm. He was a personal friend of both Gadamer and Lonergan, and upon his invitation, Gadamer came several semesters to Boston College.〔See, for example, the papers published in ''The Beginning and the Beyond. Papers from the Gadamer and Voegelin Conferences,'' Supplementary Issue of ''Lonergan Workshop'' 4: v-vi, ed. Fred Lawrence (Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1984).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick G. Lawrence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
