Description: The various aspects of temporal reality and the cosmos in its entirety do not exist independently, but point toward their origin. Consequently, the philosophy which desires to fulfil its task completely must be directive in character and point toward God, the final end and origin of creation. Real philosophy is Christian philosophy; all things are from Him and through Him. This movement is sometimes misunderstood. It is wrongly thought that I am contending that this system of Christian philosophy is the only possible approach open to Christian philosophers. I would like to take this opportunity to remove this misunderstanding. This approach to Christian philosophy is only a first attempt to construct a philosophy which is in keeping with Christianity. - Author.
