Notes regarding WdW I, 54

1. Corresponds to NC I, 91.

2. The selfhood participates in the religious root. We participate either in the fallen root or in the New Root, Christ.

3. Dooyeweerd uses ‘objective’ to refer to a higher realm. He refers to a "higher objective judge."This is similar to Baader’s use of the subject/object relation. An object is in another realm, either higher or lower than us.

The NC doesn’t like to use ‘objective’ and therefore says "ultimate judge."

4. Dooyeweerd seems to be defending himself here against the charge of relativism. The temporal world is relative, but our knowledge is not relativistic.
