Mathematics & Physics: A Historical and Systematic Analysis - Paperback

by Daniel Strauss (Author)

The attempt to reduce what is truly unique to something else leads to the deification of something or some aspect within creation, normally accompanied by imperialistic "all"-claims such as, "everything is number," "everything is matter," "everything is feeling," "everything is historical" or "everything is interpretation." The distortions thus created inevitably result in insoluble anti-nomies.

A Christian approach to scholarship, directed by the central biblical motive of creation, fall and redemption and guided by the theoretical idea that God subjected all of creation to His Law-Word, delimiting and determining the cohering diversity we experience within reality, in principle safe-guards those in the grip of this ultimate commitment and theoretical orientation from absolutizing anything within creation.
