The Analogical Concepts - Herman Dooyeweerd

. .

Résumé :
Are the sciences or disciplines independent from one another? Do they have absolutely nothing to do with each other? Might there be some interrelationship? And how is it that we are asking these questions now and not before? Why has philosophy neglected this vital understanding of the world and human interaction? In this re-printed publication, the Dutch philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977) explains the analogical concepts and seeks to call attention to what has been so long neglected.

Biographie:
Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977) was born in Amsterdam to Calvinistic parents whose convictions and way of life were profoundly influenced by Abraham Kuyper, the great Dutch statesman, educator and journalist, and one of the protestant leaders through which the evangelical wing of Dutch reformed protestantism emerged. Dooyeweerd is recorded to have had a prolific career as a researcher in philosophy, during which he wrote various profound literary works such as The New Critique of Theoretical Thought, Roots of Western Culture, In the Twilight of Western Thought, and more. He is, without a doubt, one of the most important philosophers that the Netherlands has ever produced, comparable only perhaps with Baruch de Spinoza.
