Abstract

Received: 17/11/2015 • Accepted: 9/02/2016 This article shows the influence that the reading of the Grammar of Assent exercises on Bernard Lonergan’s book Insight: A Study of human understanding, especially in his analysis of our capacity to judge about the truth of a statement. Newman’s illative sense is our reasonableness, which is similar to prudence, but in the cognitional domain, and we can find it in every human being. Lonergan says that it is a rudimentary and inevitable process, and that there is no more foundation for knowledge than our pragmatic engagement in our willing to know.
