ABSTRACT
Can complex questions about the world ever be whittled down to a single dimension or key perspective? Or is the world so many-sided that we must constantly remind ourselves of its many different facets? This question brings us to one of the gems of Dooyeweerd’s philosophy: his theory of modal aspects. In this chapter we discuss the many-sided nature of reality and in the next we shall look at its coherence and unity. Diversity and unity are closely linked concepts in Dooyeweerd’s philosophy (Figure 4.1).
