Transcription by R. Doran November 27, 2010. Related to items found in A423 and 424, which were probably taken from these much more extensive notes. If so, these notes throw light on the problems L is addressing in those items and probably indicate their context. In one hypothesis (mine), Lonergan is still trying to understand in terms of implicit-explicit the entire via inventionis, and especially the development of doctrine, which he would come to understand in terms of differentiations of consciousness, a category that has not emerged in these notes in relation to doctrinal development, and a category that is far more satisfactory for that problem than implicit-explicit. (While the notion of differentiations of consciousness clearly antedates these notes, perhaps it took some time for him to understand doctrinal development in those terms.)
The transcription is too large to be placed here, and so it may be found at 46700DTL060.
