No.55 Referenced from ~ Part2 - Chapter 3 - Section 2-4 The boundary between reason and faith should not be one that renders faith incomprehensible
From the following description, we can see that H.Dooyeweerd accepts without question the divisive structure of immanence and transcendence, which is the core of Kant's epistemology.
"We wish to establish at the outset that the true knowledge of God and of ourselves surpasses all theoretical thought. This knowledge cannot be the theoretical object either of a dogmatical theology or of a Christian philosophy. It can only be acquired by the operation of God's Word and the Holy Spirit in the heart - that is to say, in the religious center and root of our entire human existence and experience."
We all understand that God-knowledge and self-knowledge are beyond theoretical thought. No one believes that reason can know everything. In this sense, a boundary must be drawn between reason and faith, and the existence of a realm of ??faith that cannot be grasped by reason must be acknowledged. However, this boundary must not be one that renders faith totally incomprehensible. |
