520 $a This study presents a critical (dialectical) reading of Mircea Eliade's notion of the sacred through Bernard Lonergan's theory of consciousness.
520 $a The lack of clarity in Eliade's thought has left him open to criticism from various scholars of religion. While several authors have come to Eliade's defense, their attempts have been complicated by the fact that Eliade never responded to his critics. This study is concerned with the criticisms about the lack of philosophical clarity in Eliade's writings on the sacred. These criticisms are especially relevant to this study because the lack of philosophical clarity prevents Eliade's insights from being adequately incorporated into theology.
520 $a Lonergan's theory of consciousness may provide philosophically adequate foundations for Eliade's notion of the sacred. Specifically, Eliade's recognition of the lack of a "new phenomenology of mind," and his call for a "creative hermeneutics," provide a context for the application of Lonergan's thought. That is, Lonergan's theory of consciousness fulfils both requirements. It provides the foundations for an epistemology and metaphysics, which, in turn, provide the foundations for a hermeneutic framework wherein, ideally, the theory of consciousness functions as the "upper blade" of a pair of scissors converging upon the "lower blade" of the data, to yield an authentic interpretation.
520 $a One could view this study as an application of Lonergan's hermeneutics. That is, drawing upon Lonergan's four levels of intentional consciousness (experience, understanding, judgment, and decision) as the "upper blade" of the hermeneutic framework, one can bring them to bear upon the "lower blade" of Eliade's notion of the sacred by asking: (1) How is the sacred experienced? (2) How do we understand the sacred, insofar as it can be understood (i.e. through sacred symbols)? (3) What does Eliade mean when he states that the sacred is the real? (4) What does it mean to live in the sacred? These four divisions correlate with Lonergan's four levels of intentional consciousness and provide an organizational principle for a more precise interpretation. In this way, combining the insights of these two thinkers, perhaps we might begin to understand more precisely the general outline of the structure of religious 'knowing.'
520 $a In addition this study will help to preserve those insights of Eliade's thought that may help clarify the relationship between theology and religious studies and so enable those insights to be incorporated into theology. Consequently, the fruit of the inquiry may better preserve the integrity of Eliade's thought. In addition, the complementary effect Eliade's thought may have on certain aspects of Lonergan's thought may continue to yield fruits in subsequent investigations.
