Reformational philosophy rests on the ideas of nineteenth-century
educator, church leader, and politician Abraham Kuyper, and it
emerged in the early twentieth century among Reformed Protestant
thinkers in the Netherlands. Combining comprehensive criticisms of
Western philosophy with robust proposals for a just society, it
calls on members of religious communities to transform harmful
cultural practices, social institutions, and societal structures.
Well known for his work in aesthetics and critical theory, Lambert
Zuidervaart is a leading figure in contemporary reformational
philosophy. In Religion, Truth, and Social Transformation - the
first of two volumes of original essays from the past thirty years
- he forges new interpretations of art, politics, rationality,
religion, science, and truth. In dialogue with modern and
contemporary philosophers, among them Immanuel Kant, G.F.H Hegel,
Martin Heidegger, Theodor Adorno, Jurgen Habermas, and
reformational thinkers such as Herman Dooyeweerd, Dirk Vollenhoven,
and Hendrik Hart, Zuidervaart explains and expands on reformational
philosophy's central themes. This interdisciplinary collection
offers a normative critique of societal evil, a holistic and
pluralist conception of truth, and a call for both religion and
science to serve the common good. Illustrating the connections
between philosophy, religion, and culture, and daring to think
outside the box, Religion, Truth, and Social Transformation gives a
voice to hope in a climate of despair.
