Samevattende resolusies

Abstract

The author gives a recapitulatory resume in the form of resolutions of the four lectures and the subsequent discussion during the Stoker lectures on 26 March 1982. The inter-dependence of Philosophy, subject philosophy and specific disciplines has the result that

* none of these may over-estimate itself and consequently under-estimate the others;
* a watertight division is impossible seeing that scientists from all these fields within the context of science are often involved with issues which overlap the fields of the others;
* the religious bias and the specificity of all science have to come to expression in spite of the distinction between Philosophy, subject philosophy and specific disciplines; and
* subject philosophy constitutes the bridge which makes possible twoway traffic between Philosophy and subject disciplines.
