Summary:

Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977), a renowned philosopher and legal scholar, has been regarded as one of the most original philosophers the Netherlands has ever produced. In 1935, he published his seminal work, A New Critique of Theoretical Thought, which offers an in-depth analysis of the foundations of culture and science. Dooyeweerd develops a sophisticated and impressive conceptual framework to analyse reality. He demonstrates that every philosophy, all science, and every political ideology is driven by underlying religious or worldview perspectives. The work of Herman Dooyeweerd is currently attracting global interest. From the United States to Korea, from New Zealand to Brazil, and from the Netherlands to South Africa, professionals across various disciplines-philosophers, engineers, politicians, economists, and others-are expanding upon his ideas within their respective fields. At the same time, his work is becoming increasingly relevant as contemporary society displays characteristics reminiscent of those observed in European culture a century ago. De filosofie van Herman Dooyeweerd (1984-1977): Hoopvol, actueel en praktisch introduces his most significant concepts and numerous examples of their contemporary applications.
