Abstract

PS Dreyer: Beacons on the path of science
Professor PS Dreyer is an academic who has shovsm insight and vision into several problems of the human sciences since 1951. He has identified problems, but also contributed solutions to them. In this respect his philosophy on causality and freedom is of utmost importance. The same applies to his investigations into the relationship history-Christianity as well as the unity of sciences and how the concepts scientific, unscientic and nonscientific are related to one another. His contribution to the understanding of Greek philosophy should be of significance for time to come. Two milestones could be distinguished: Dreyer's particular solution to the problem of the criterion on truth, viz meaningfulness and his notion
of the knowledge of values in ethics by valuation in contradistinction to knowledge through feeling, reason and will.
