Abstract: Hugo Meynell objects to the apparent fideism and anti-foundationalism of Herman Dooyeweerd's philosophy.In response, my essay explicates the historical setting and logical structure to Dooyeweerd's "transcendental critique of theoretical thought."His transcendental critique seeks to uncover the "religious root" of philosophy and of other academic disciplines.Given Dooyeweerd's notion of religion and his account of theoretical thought, I show that Meynell's criticisms are misplaced.Yet they point toward fundamental problems in Dooyeweerd's transcendental critique.Some problems pertain to the logic of Dooyeweerd's argument, and others to his notion of religion.I explain these problems and indicate how they should be addressed.
