Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977), renowned Dutch philosopher and legal theorist, produced a comprehensive philosophy which since 1935 has stimulated thought in many fields. His magnum opus, A New Critique of Theoretical Thought (4 vol., 1953-58), made a monumental contribution to critical philosophy in the Christian tradition, comparable in its scope to the work of thinkers like Jacques Maritain and William Temple.

In The Legacy of Herman Dooyeweerd, six scholars associated with the

Institute for Christian Studies, Toronto, present and assess

Dooyeweerd's contribution to several fields-philosophy, religious

studies and theology, history, aesthetics, and political and social

theory.
