Abstract

Is it possible to have a Christian perspective in which questions about core values can be answered? Modernism, post-modernism and new realism all offer different answers to fundamental questions. In modernism, rationalism is still accepted as a valid viewpoint, but in post-modernism this is disregarded. New realism views objectivity as inherently possible. Thinkers like H. Dooyeweerd, D.F.M. Strauss and B.J. Van Der Walt suggest a Christian foundation for philosophy and theology. This article takes a radical Christological view of creation, sees the theosentric aspect as the principle for the realm of life before God and suggests a Trinitarian interpretation of reality.
