Abstract
This article comments on Danie Strauss’s Philosophy : Discipline of the disciplines . It deals with some differences between the author’s interpretation of the Philosophy of the Cosmonomic Idea and the views of Dooyeweerd and Strauss. I call these differences ‘nuances’ because our religious starting point is the same. This implies a realist religious view, confessing that God created the world according to laws which are invariant because He sustains them. We know God only through Jesus Christ, who submitted himself to God’s laws. Partial knowledge of God’s laws can be achieved by studying the law-conformity of the creation. In particular, I shall discuss the relevance of artefacts for the future development of the Philosophy of the Cosmonomic Idea.
Highlights
In this article I want to draw attention to artefacts, a specific kind of object, which should play a much larger part in the Philosophy of the Cosmonomic Idea (PCI for short) than is realised up till
Only individual persons and organised associations can be subjects, everything else being an object in the normative aspects
We develop skills by habituation, so that they become automatic responses, imprinted fixed-action patterns in our brains
Summary
In this article I want to draw attention to artefacts, a specific kind of object, which should play a much larger part in the Philosophy of the Cosmonomic Idea (PCI for short) than is realised up till now. Strauss (2009) accepts Dooyeweerd’s order of the normative aspects, but otherwise opinions, including mine, differ widely At the subject and object side of characters one finds individual things, events, plants, animals, humans, acts, artefacts and associations. Like Dooyeweerd and Strauss, I assume that each character is primarily typically qualified by one of the relation frames.
