    Dit is belangrik om in ’n bedeling waarin die mens hom aan die skouspelagtighede en die toekomsmoontlikhede van sy kultuur vergaap en daar vreesbevange oor raak, ook duideIikheid te verkry oor die funksies van die Filosofie in die huidige en verderstrekkende kultuursituasies. Filosowe het die neiging om baie te praat en min te sê. Omdat ek maar ’n paar dinge te sê het, sal ek probeer om ook min te praat. Ek gee u ’n kort bloemlesing van my gedagtes oor Filosofie, kultuur en toekoms

    Sosiale etiek en H.G. Stoker se Stryd om die ordes*

    Get PDF
    Stoker het geen sosiale etiek in sy Die stryd om die ordes van 1942 geskryf nie. Dit is ’n werk oor die samelewingsfilosofie. In twee opsigte het dit wel betekenis vir ’n sosiale etiek. Eerstens bied Stoker se metode van aanpak, asook die doel van die boek pragtige groeipunte vir ’n sosiale etiek. Tweedens bied Stoker se filosofie van die mens en die samelewing implisiete en soms eksplisiete konsekwensies en vingerwysings na ’n sosiale etiek

    The issue about whether Philosophy has become redundant in our time constitutes one of the initial or beginning issues in Philosophy. Philosophy, which is, broadly speaking, one of the humanities, is not and may not be a product of socio-economic relations. When these disciplines concede that they have become encapsulated in the existing order and that therefore they wish to continue the status quo without a dynamic revision and reformation, they deserve to be declared redundant. Philosophy and the humanities will only regain a leading position when, in the light of the various qualities of being human, alternative choices are investigated

    Die posisie van Studium Universale (as interdissiplinêre kursus) aan die Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir Christelike Hoër Onderwys is in sekere opsigte uniek in die Westerse universitêre wêreld. In ander opsigte is dit analoog met derge- like kursusse aan Europese en Amerikaanse universiteite. Ons beoog hier geen vergelyking tussen Studium Universale aan die P.U. vir C.H.O. en sy eweknie aan sê maar die deursnee Europese universiteit nie. Ondervolgende trag om ’n profiel te gee van enkele markante nuwe planne in verband met die iunksies van „Studium Universale" aan ons hedendaagse universiteit

    In die jongste tyd is die moderne mens doodbang vir alle etiese programme, vir ’n Etiek waarin vir alle mense en tye voorgeskrewe reels, hoe ’n mens in elke situasie moet handel, gegee word

    The selection of the quality students for a university. During the period 1965-1985, there was a sharp increase in student numbers at universities in the RSA. The increase in student numbers was much higher than the economic o r population increases. More and more matriculants apply for admission to university , despite the fact that university education has become very expensive. Nowadays the selection of students is more important than it has been in the past

    Wetenskap op weg na 'n nuwe identiteit en samewerking

    Get PDF
    A traditional approach in Calvinist philosophy is to start with an analysis of cosmic diversity in order to find the identity of a particular phenomenon, and then to end with an account of the inter-relatedness between the phenomenon and other things. Although Stoker's philosophy tries to keep a balance between diversity and coherence as an entrée to reality - his later publications reflected a remarkable shift hy emphasising the coherence and contextual meaning of things. Taking the coherence and contextual meaning of things as the point of departure, this article explores a converse version of the traditional approach by using coherence (and not identity) as a means to sound out some new meanings of science and scientific co-operation. An indication of transdisciplinary co-operation is rendered in terms of the preponderance of reality‘s call upon man to be known and cared for. The article ends with a few examples of unusual concepts that may serve as a revised index to identify world-friendly and humane scientific activities
