A wonderful aid to reading Lonergan's Insight

Joe Flanagan knows his stuff! This books covers the entire book Insight we clarity. While not a replacement for Insight, F's book helps to unravel what can be at times difficult in Insight. For example, as F. said in the Lonergan Web Site interview, his book's first goal is to provide the links to understanding Insight's first five chapters. It is these chapters with their heavy mathematical and scientific import that can be discouraging to first-time Insight readers. Having F's book along side Insight helps manage these chapters. In this sense, it is a must purchase book. But, here's a warning: Don't rely on F's book. It is a means not an end. The pricipal aim of Insight is YOUR self-appropriation. If F's book helps toward this goal then fine. If not, then drop it and move to another source.
