"""Cronin has carefully reconstructed and developed further the cognitional theory of Lonergan into a well-structured and profoundly readable volume not only for seasoned scholars of Lonergan but also for anyone ready to follow his amazing philosophical journey pursuing questions about thinking, knowing, science, life, the universe, and ultimately, God."" --James Swindal, Duquesne University ""A Worldview of Everything provides an in-depth analysis of Lonergan's metaphysics. Cronin offers a brilliant reassessment of metaphysics as wisdom in the best tradition of Aristotle and Aquinas, while at the same time conducting the more current task of mediating between common sense and scientific worldviews."" --Francisco V. Gal�n, Ibero-American University ""Whether your question is 'Who am I?' or 'What is the world?' or 'Is there more than meets the eye?' or 'Is there a way out of the mess we're in?' Cronin's book provides a personal and engaging entr�e into answering such questions. The answers will speak to both the mind and heart. I could not recommend A Worldview of Everything more highly."" --Richard M. Liddy, Seton Hall University, emeritus ""A Worldview of Everything offers a clear and very helpful guide to some of Lonergan's most difficult and neglected of writings. . . . Building upon his previous books, Cronin shows how Lonergan offers not a system or set of fixed answers but guidance for seeking answers to some of the most important questions about what is true, good, real, ethical, and knowable. It is very readable, and its style engages the reader."" --Patrick H. Byrne, Boston College"
