Instance Specification Ground Motive (Dooyeweerd)

"A ground motive is a spiritual driving force that impels each thinker to interpret reality under its influence. Dooyeweerd identified four major ground-motives of Western thought, three of them dualistic in nature:

  1. the Form-Matter divide of Greek thought

  2. the Creation-Fall-Redemption motive of Biblical (Hebrew, Semitic) thought

  3. the Nature-Grace divide of mediaeval, Scholastic thought

  4. the Nature-Freedom divide of humanistic, Enlightenment thought

This means that theoretical thought never has been neutral or autonomous of the thinker."
