Dialogue and Antithesis: A Philosophical Study on the Significance of Herman Dooyeweerd's Transcendental Critique is a comprehensive examination of the philosophy of leading Dutch Christian philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977).

Dr. P. B. Cliteur, the president of the Humanist League in the Netherlands, said that Herman Dooyeweerd is undoubtedly the most formidable Dutch philosopher of the 20th century. Dooyeweerd has shaped Dutch thinking in profound and all-encompassing ways. This academic monograph is a bold attempt to understand and critically assess his thoughts and his contribution to the world. No student of philosophy or Dutch studies can afford to go on without this book.

Rev. Dr. Yong-Joon Choi is the visiting professor of philosophy at the Vancouver Institute for Evangelical Worldview and the senior pastor of Hanbit Korean Church in Cologne, Germany. Rev. Dr. Choi received his PhD in philosophy from Potchefstroom University in South Africa and holds a doctorandus degree in philosophy from the Free University of Amsterdam, an M.Div. degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, and a BA in sociology from Seoul National University.

Dry Dissertation, Bad Audio Narration

I will admit from the outset that only a few people are interested in this book. It is a published version of the author's dissertation, so it is dry and boring from the outset. While I appreciate Audible's effort in bringing a well-respected book on the thought of H. Dooyeweerd to its listeners, Kalsbeek's Contours or the various works of J.M. Spier would have been a better choice.

The audio narration makes it all the worse. The author clearly does not know how to speak with a Dutch accent, as she consistently mispronounces Dutch terms and names. She also (unnecessarily) reads paragraph numbers and footnote numbers, which distracts from the author's main points.
