Congratulations to Dr. Hiutung Chan of Boston College

Boston College student Hiutung Chan has successfully defended a dissertation, 'Search of Transcendent Order in the Violent World: A Theological Meditation of Laozi’s Daode Jing and Augustine’s De Trinitate,' which was prepared under the supervision of Mark S. Heim.

‘My methodology ... makes heuristic use of Bernard Lonergan’s study of the fourfold operation of human consciousness as experience, understanding, judgment and decision. This general description of human consciousness is a useful framework to draw out similarities and differences in these texts.’

Doctoral students are invited to advise us of the completion of their work so we can pass along a congratulatory word and notice of their accomplishment. They are also invited to donate a (bound or unbound) copy of their completed doctoral projects to the LRI library.
