		Reformational philosophy is a transcendent philosophy, its Archimedean point is Christ, who is the source and sustainer of all things.
		Immanent philosophies are inherently reductionistic and pagan; i.e.
		A denial of the existence of distinctively Christian philosophy implies antagonism to the Reformational philosophy as it claims to be a Christian philosophy.

		According to reformational thought, marriage is not a sacrament, marriage is not something to be taken lightly, marriage is not a curse, marriage is not something to fear, marriage is not to be broken, it is completely opposite of these.
		As to a critique of the reformational philosophy on the concept of marriage, I am not certain it is reducible to a philosophy, certainly, it is a philosophy but it takes deeper roots in religious ideologies.
		Dooyeweerd and the reformational viewpoints on marriage reject the Augustinian, and unbiblical, thought that sexual intercourse and the pleasure associated with it are extensions of original sin.

	Comment Magazine - "What is to be done... toward a neocalvinist agenda?" by Al Wolters
		Although there are periodic philosophy conferences in the Netherlands, an internet discussion forum called Thinknet, the philosophy journal Philosophia Reformata, and of course the general journal Comment, there is still woefully little connection between the heirs of Kuyper scattered around the globe.
		More than twenty years ago, in a lecture at Leiden University, I once launched the bold thesis that the central insight of reformational philosophy could be said to be captured in the distinction between "structure" and "direction," meaning by those terms the creational design and the spiritual orientation of things.
		As someone whose academic career is now almost equally divided between professional involvement first in reformational philosophy and then in biblical studies, I would plead for a fresh or continued engagement with Scripture on the part of neocalvinist academics and other cultural leaders.

	CHRISTIANITY AND CULTURE: THE CASE FOR REFORMATIONAL CULTURAL ACTIVISM
		Reformational philosophy distinguishes between integral and dualistic understandings of this world, rejecting the latter.
		Reformational Christianity has, perhaps more than any other Christian tradition, advocated the vigorous development of a distinctly Christian culture, on the basis of an integral understanding of the world and an antithetical approach to non-Christian culture.
		It is rather the exact opposite: the reformation of culture in the light of the universal gospel, the latter stripped of irrelevant cultural baggage and understood as the timeless and absolute appeal and promise of an eternal God.

		Reformed Christian colleges may add the dimension that faculty must subscribe to certain churchly confessional “forms of unity” or belong to a certain church denomination so it is clear that you support infant baptism as a promise of God’s covenant with believers or a common statement of world-and-life-envisioning purpose.

		In particular those who have recognised the reformational implications of Christianity have seen it as important to engage in the full range of academic disciplines on their own terms, and not merely through a theological lens.
		This is important for philosophy, as since its inception it has sought to explain the origin of things and how things hold together.
		One of the tasks of philosophy, conceived christianly, is to combat the tendency to reduce reality to one or two basic realities on which all else depends or through which all else can be explained.

	The Dialogical Coffee House
		Dare I, as a Christian, develop a political philosophy that sees all legislation of morality as an establishment of religion by means of law and, therefore, contrary to the establishment of the kingdom by grace alone?
		Another possibility is that I develop a particular view of human flourishing and come to believe that all the institutions of life ought to promote this understanding, a biblical understanding, of human flourishing.
		Personally, as a poor beggar who is just trying to show another beggar where to find bread, I have avoided politics as simply off topic, but, of late, I have been in relationship with people of many stripes and feel obligated to contemplate these questions.

	Calvin Seminars in Christian Scholarship - Christian Scholarship... for What? - Lambert Zuidervaart
		By "aesthetics" I mean a branch of Western philosophy that has had two main topics since the eighteenth century: the nature and purposes of the arts, and the nature and role of the aesthetic dimension in life, culture, and society.
		A second emphasis stems from the first: reformational scholars hold that Christians and their efforts and organizations are called to be agents of renewal in culture and society, including scholarship and education.
		So reformational scholarship tends to be radical, having a social comprehensiveness and a depth of cultural engagement that cannot harmonize easily with evangelical personalism or pietist escape.

	New Critique \| A Guide to Dooyeweerd's New Critique of Theoretical Thought
		Having recourse to the Reformational tradition gave me a handle to relate to these vigorously antichristian positions in a systematic and intelligent way.
		Both radical Trinitarian theology and Reformational philosophy together, and only together, can provide a path towards the true transformation of our Western culture, and, more widely, the world church (of which the Western church is increasingly a less significant part) which the gospel of Christ alone can bring.
		I have subsequently drawn heavily on his insights, not the least, the extant to which the great Reformational thinker, Abraham Kuyper, was motivated by a Trinitarian Covenantal commitment.

	Dialogue and Antithesis, Yong-Joon Choi
		Bob Goudzwaard, professor of economics and socio-cultural philosophy at the Free University in Amsterdam, was influenced by Groen van Prinsterer, Kuyper, and Gerbrandy in political and social thought, by Bonhoeffer in ethical formation, by ecumenical movements in his later ecclesiastical activity, and by Dooyeweerd and especially Mekkes in the scientific and philosophical sphere.
		He is presently a professor in reformational philosophy at the Technological Universities of Delft and Eindhoven and at the Agricultural University of Wageningen.
		For him, Christian philosophy should be both general and specific in the sense that it seeks not only a general philosophical view of created reality but also a specific one through the struggling of local, concrete issues in the different parts of the world.
