Document Details : Title: Postfoundationalism in Theology Subtitle: The Structure of Theological Solutions Author(s): VAN HUYSSTEEN, J. Wentzel Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 90 Issue: 2 Date: 2014 Pages: 209-229 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.90.2.3032676 Abstract : This paper outlines the implications for the theology of the admission of contemporary forms of postfoundationalist epistemology. Because of the multi-dimensional, transversal nature of human rationality, we are enabled to enter the pluralist, interdisciplinary conversation with our full personal convictions intact, while at the same time we are theoretically empowered to step beyond the limitations and boundaries of our own contexts, traditions, and disciplines. It is in this sense that, in the dialogue between theology and other disciplines, transversal reasoning facilitates different, but equally legitimate ways of evaluating issues, problems, traditions, or even disciplines themselves. |
