CRITERIA FOR A LAW SPHERE

CRITERIA FOR A LAW SPHERE CRITERIA FOR A LAW SPHERE (with special emphasis on the 'psychic' modal aspect) by M. D.

Abstract

CRITERIA FOR A LAW SPHERE (with special emphasis on the 'psychic' modal aspect) by M. D. Stafteu Ever since Herman Dooyeweerd during a walk in the dunes of Holland conceived of the idea of mutually irreducible 'law spheres', people have objected to his designation of these 'modal aspects'.

Ouweneel put forward arguments to replace the so-called psychic modal aspect by a 'perceptive' and a 'sensitive' one. 2 In this paper I intend to investigate these claims from a methodological point of view, summing up various methods for distinguishing a modal aspect.
