ABSTRACT
We saw in the last chapter how Dooyeweerd tries to prove that science, even the most theoretical kind, always builds on prescientific convictions and motivations. He shows that those convictions and motivations are foundational and that they say something about one’s view of reality. An underlying ground motive (Chapter 3) is expressed there. This chapter’s opening quotation already reveals how Dooyeweerd understands the relationship between philosophy and faith. In his view, a ‘reformation of philosophy’ comes about by ‘relating’ philosophical thinking to Christ. In this chapter we investigate how that happens in concrete terms. In other words, how philosophy can be connected to Christian faith in the practice of thinking.
