Terrance Quinn

Quinn is from Montreal, Canada. His BSc (87), MSc (88) and PhD (92) were in mathematics. He published in pure and applied mathematics, science education, foundations of science and, in the last few years, has also been working in economics. Much of Quinn’s work (including his website initiative with John Benton, bentonfuturology.com, for students and early-career scholars) is toward understanding and promoting Lonergan’s three major achievements: discovery of the science of economics, a much-needed basis from which to address today’s social, economic and ecological crises; “generalized empirical method”; and “functional specialization” (a normative eightfold collaborative division of labor that will “overcome or, at least, counter-balance the endless divisions of field specialization” (Lonergan, Method, 126).
