초록
This article investigates how Herman Dooyeweerd(1894-1977), a Dutch Christian philosopher, tried to integrate faith and scholarship from the biblical worldview. Succeeding Abraham Kuyper(1837-1920), Dooyeweerd developed his so-called ‘transcendental critique of theoretical thought’ in order to explain why scientific thinking can never be neutral but is integrated with religious faith. Because the almighty God created all things with His wisdom, scholarship is the human activity to honor God and serve our neighbors by rediscovering the order of creation. However, due to the fall of man, these academic activities were separated from faith and humans developed science and technology for themselves, which eventually caused various problems due to self-contradiction. Dooyeweerd points out this as reductionism and the idolization of thoughts through the absolutization of one aspect. However, through the redemption of Christ, the ultimate solution is made possible and science can be newly integrated with faith through the regenerated reason. After explaining the sphere-sovereignty and universality of modal aspects, he analyzed how theoretical thinking is possible through theoretical antithesis and synthesis. Eventually, when the human heart, the center of man, is born again in Christ and directs again toward the Creator, integration is possible, and science and technology are also beneficial to mankind. Finally, when the Kingdom of God will be consummated, the process of integration would also be completed just like jewels in the wall of New Jerusalem. In conclusion, it is discussed how Dooyeweerd’s insight has been developed by his successors and what are the implications of his legacy in the Korean context.
Abstract
This article investigates how Herman Dooyeweerd(1894-1977), a Dutch Christian philosopher, tried to integrate faith and scholarship from the biblical worldview. Succeeding Abraham Kuyper(1837-1920), Dooyeweerd developed his so-called ‘transcendental critique of theoretical thought’ in order to explain why scientific thinking can never be neutral but is integrated with religious faith. Because the almighty God created all things with His wisdom, scholarship is the human activity to honor God and serve our neighbors by rediscovering the order of creation. However, due to the fall of man, these academic activities were separated from faith and humans developed science and technology for themselves, which eventually caused various problems due to self-contradiction. Dooyeweerd points out this as reductionism and the idolization of thoughts through the absolutization of one aspect. However, through the redemption of Christ, the ultimate solution is made possible and science can be newly integrated with faith through the regenerated reason. After explaining the sphere-sovereignty and universality of modal aspects, he analyzed how theoretical thinking is possible through theoretical antithesis and synthesis. Eventually, when the human heart, the center of man, is born again in Christ and directs again toward the Creator, integration is possible, and science and technology are also beneficial to mankind. Finally, when the Kingdom of God will be consummated, the process of integration would also be completed just like jewels in the wall of New Jerusalem. In conclusion, it is discussed how Dooyeweerd’s insight has been developed by his successors and what are the implications of his legacy in the Korean context.
