Rushdooney’s Introduction to the 1960 edn

Filed under: Introduction

Summary Rushdoony in his introduction to this book does not provide a review but rather ‘an analysis of its general significance’.

R. J. Rushdoony 1916-2001

Review questions

 

1. Why, according to Rushdoony, would Dooyeweerd be the first to ‘disclaim originality’ to his approach?

2. What, according to Rushdoony, are the implications of Joseph Haroutunian’s Lust for Power?

3. What points does Rushdoony draw out in his discussion of ‘Rudolf Bultmann on science’?

4. Why does Dooyeweerd use the word motive and not motif?

Study questions

1. In what ways is Dooyeweerd’s approach to Christian philosophy a development on the biblical foundations of Calvin and Kuyper?
