User:Reformatikos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm Reformatikos for the purposes of Wikipedia. My remark on my first day of Wikipedic writing: Today I took a few notes by a previous writer, not all of them accurate and developed an article on Theo Vollenhoven ( D. H. Th. Vollenhoven ). Then I made a few corrections in the articles Reformational philosophy, and Herman Dooyeweerd. Because the Wiki eds redirected the remark on the Herman Dooyeweerd page about HD being "a legal scholar by training" with no backup page available when one clicked up "legal scholar," Wiki eds apparently redirected readers to the page entitled "Jurist." That gives a wrong impression. Dooyeweerd was not a lawyer or judge, but he trained lawyers and judges and law-philosophy research scholars, while all the time philosophizing his discipline/s. So I changed the redirected term "legal scholar" to "Juridical scholar," and wrote a page appropriate to Herman Dooyeweerd, Law Philosopher who wrote Encyclopedia of the Science of Law (Dutch, unpublished) in five volumes, of which Volume I had now been translated and found its first formal print publication in English as of 2002. A long and first busy day composing at Wikipedia.

Edits[edit]

"Middle Orthodoxy" (Dec13,2k9)

Christian philosophy (pluralized references to various religious philosophies; changed section heading from misnomer "Classical Christian philosophy" to "Hellenistic Christian philosophies"; pluralized entry for "Jesus"; edited paragraph for "Cappodocian Fathers" to "Cappodocians" because of the monastic context of three males in St Makrina's abbey and under her spiritual direction).

G. C. Berkouwer [NOTE: This one has to be fixed up, as the live link on the Dooyeweerd page is misspaced with no space between "G." and "C."

Harry Van Dyke (April 2,2k5)

Herman Dooyeweerd

Institute for Christian Studies, Toronto - NOTE: I think Bishop started this page entry, but I at least came along soon thereafter and made a bunch of corrections and amendments, including my own erroneous linkup to a new page (a live link on the ICS page) for which I supplied the misspelled "Longergan" with an extra "g" for "Lonergan." Then, I was informed Paul R that a very good page entry already existed developed by Lonergonians. So, I have created a new entry "Reformational-Lonergan dialogue" (I think) but am having trouble finding it so that I can but the correctly titled live link on the ICS page, replacing "Longergan." This note April 2, 2k5.

James Olthuis (corrections, additions, April 2,2k5)

Jurisprudence (I found no welcome for Herman Dooyeweerd in the format of this page where I wanted to add the Juridical scholar's name, as his achievement in the field towers above anything written in English, I'm told; so I added HD's name and a note in the bottom-of-the-page notes for the Jurisprudence page; now as of April 3,2k3, the other notes have been removed to a still more bottom-most section, and my Dooyeweerd note has been received by editors or rewriters into a newly separate middle section where he sits nearly all by himself. And thus stands out from the crowd under the large-typeface sectional heading "See also"!
