Translator's preface
The present translation of Vol. II of Dooyeweerd's: ‘A New Critique of Theoretical Thought’ has greatly benefited by the vigilant and careful revision of my manuscript by my friend and collaborator David H. Freeman, for which I offer him my sincerest thanks.
At the same time I wish to acknowledge my indebtness to the author of the book, Prof. Dr H. Dooyeweerd, for many improvements in the field of philosophical terminology. The comparison of the original (Dutch) edition with the present version will reveal the insertion of a number of entirely new paragraphs and even whole sections done by the author.
Last but not least, I would thank the publishers as well as Professor Dooyeweerd for the confidence they have put in me and the encouragement they have given me.
Rotterdam, February, 1955.
