Tussen ontwerp en werkelijkheid

"Between design and reality" describes and explains an understanding of our world in terms of what Sanders in 1972, after Dooyeweerd, called "levels of functional structure". Subject or design and and object or reality are united in (psychological) methodology, to form one level of functional structure after another, from a most reduced level of physics to a least reduced level of morality and ethics. Sanders and Van Rappard conclude that both field- and systematic research can be divided into (externally) normative and pure or internally normative to position all programs. Contributers illustrate this view from their respective (psychological) disciplines.
