Abstract
This is the first of two volumes that collect my essays in and about reformational philosophy.The essays in this volume span several decades of academic writing, and they range across social philosophy, ontology, epistemology, and philosophy of religion.The essays in the second volume, while spanning the same years, will address a wider public on topics in the arts, culture, and education.I was introduced to the reformational tradition as an undergraduate philosophy major at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa and then pursued graduate studies with reformational scholars at the Institute for Christian Studies (ics) in Toronto and the VU University Amsterdam.Although better known for my work on Theodor W. Adorno and Critical Theory, I am also well versed in reformational philosophy.I have addressed its issues and questions throughout my career, and central insights in reformational philosophy have guided all of my work.This book brings together many of my essays on such topics for the first time.It has several goals.First, it is intended to make my writings on reformational philosophy more readily available to others in this tradition, inviting them to test the validity and relevance of my ideas and offer their responses.As will become clear when you read the book, many chapters emerge from debates within the tradition, and they call for continuing conversation.Second, the book aims to introduce a wider academic audience to central insights and claims within reformational philosophy.Because it has roots in the Netherlands and has not entered the canon of contemporary Western philosophy, reformational philosophy has not received the attention and scrutiny it deserves.I hope this book helps change that.Third, I also wish to present my own reformationally informed conceptions of rationality, religion, science, truth, and x Preface

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
