Emergent Probability –Lonergan’s Genetic Model of Knowledge Growth, Development and Decline
نویسنده
چکیده
In his study of human understanding, Lonergan [1992] saw the task of constructing a cohesive body of explanatory knowledge as a convoluted building process of recurrent schemes (RS) that act as foundational elements to further growth. Although BL’s kernal RS was composed of the cognitional dynamics surrounding Insight [Bretz, 2002], other examples of recurrent growth schemes abound in nature: resource cycles, motor skills, biological routines, autocatalytic processes, etc. The corresponding growing generic World Process can alternatively be thought of as chemical, environmental, evolutionary, social, organizational, economical, psychological, or ethical [Melchin, 2001], and its generality might be of particular interest to complex systems researchers.
