摘要:This essay�originally a conference response to Glenn Hughes� essay�explores how themes and notions in Lonergan�s philosophy of art extend in surprising and often unnoticed ways into the larger whole of Lonergan�s thought. By the same token, the broader framework of Lonergan�s philosophy sheds a great deal of interesting light on his philosophy of art. The essay explores this mutual illumination in the context of Hughes� reflections on �ulterior significance.� For example, it relates Lonergan�s notion of art to his heuristic of human development as an intertwining or interlocking of the organic, psychic, intellectual, and religious levels in human development. It also relates Lonergan�s notion of art, together with his recognition of the centrality of the symbolic in human living, to his treatment of the permanent human needs for liberation from �the ready-made world,� for the sense of the unknown, and for orientation into mystery�even for orientation into ultimate mystery. �
