This volume from
The Collected Works of Herman Dooyeweerd
is a collection of essays on legal, social, and political philosophy. That these philosophical essays have been appropriately grouped according to the headings legal, social, and political cannot disguise the fact that all of them display an emphatic juridical bias. This in turn reflects the fact that Dooyeweerd's entire systematics grew out of reflection on his specialist discipline and that it was the problems of legal theory which he had particularly in mind throughout all his theoretical work. Yet it is Dooyeweerd's great achievement that his systematic philosophy is of general application to every field of theoretical inquiry.
