Autor: Lonergan, Bernard J.F. Buch: A Third Collection Titel: A Third Collection Stichwort: authentische Subjektivität -> Objektivität; Kurzinhalt: that objectivity is the fruit of authentic subjectivity, of being attentive, intelligent, reasonable, responsible; satisfying those norms is the highroad to the objectivity ... Textausschnitt: 49/9 It is time to conclude. We have been asking whether there is any connection between inner conviction and objective truth. By inner conviction we have meant not passion, not stubbornness, not wilful blindness, but the very opposite; we have meant the fruit of self-transcendence, of being attentive, intelligent, reasonable, responsible; in brief, of being ruled by the inner norms that constitute the exigences for authenticity in the human person. But for objectivity we have distinguished two interpretations. There is the objectivity of the world of immediacy, of the already-out-there-now, of the earth that is firm-set only in the sense that at each moment it has happened to resist my treading feet and bear my weight. But there also is the objectivity of the world mediated by meaning; and that objectivity is the fruit of authentic subjectivity, of being attentive, intelligent, reasonable, responsible. (144; Fs) |
