Abstract
The article puts forward an interchange between Jacques Derrida and Bernard Lonergan, suggesting both thinkers delineate notions of human development that include stabilizing and innovating moments. While the perspective adopted in the article remains more closely aligned with Lonergan's foundational, methodological approach than with Derrida's deconstructive process, the article acknowledges that Derrida's thought id more resonant with the contemporary intellectuel context. Derrida challenges the possibility of an authentic foundational philosophy even as he accepts the utility of coherent but transitional framings for human project with the interplay between the constructive and transgressive moments of interpretation. Still, Derrida's understanding of dicourse replaces classicism as the shadow that constrains and enables contemporary inquirers as they assume greater responsibility for their participation in social developmenent.
