Dooyeweerds
Dooyeweerds refers to the followers and interpreters of Herman Dooyeweerd, a Dutch philosopher (1894–1977) who founded reformational philosophy. Dooyeweerd developed the cosmonomic idea, which treats reality as structured by irreducible, law-governed modalities or aspects through which phenomena, thought, and social life are ordered.
