Ellie, no doubt about that. It's just that for me, Lonergan played a crucial role in liberating me from a dogmatic attitude, one of whose effects was to keep me from turning towards the realms of my own experiences. Lonergan was quite serious about the fact that since all knowledge finds its origins in experience, the cultivation and examination of experiences hold primal importance in his work. In some ways, he was more Husserlian than Husserl.
