| Summary: | Dooyeweerd says that the first rudimental conception of his philosophy had ripened even before he started work at the Kuyper Foundation in October 1922. He had not even studied Kuyper’s works, although he would later find some similarities in Kuyper. A detailed analysis of an article written earlier in 1922 shows us how Dooyeweerd developed his philosophy. This article is ‘Normatieve rechtsleer. Een kritisch-methodologische onderzoeking naar Kelsen’s normatieve rechtsbeschouwing.’ It includes these ideas: the rejection of the autonomy of thought, the idea of intuitive beholding [schouwen], and the idea of modalities or modes of consciousness. Previous historians of reformational philosophy have not adequately researched Dooyeweerd’s sources for these ideas. None of these sources are Calvinistic. Dooyeweerd used these ideas to critique neo-Kantianism. He dismantles Kant’s logical categories and instead puts forward the idea of intuited modalities. And Dooyeweerd uses the scholastic idea of ‘meaning-moments’ to individuate these modalities from totality. |
