카이퍼 경제론의 기본요소

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Though Kuyper was not an economist, he conveyed considerably systematic ideas on economy. He criticized the liberal ideas of Adam Smith for sharing the core ideas of Frensch revolution, which was, according to his view, anti-Christian, as well as for being responsible for the miserable socio-economic situation in the late 19th and the early 20th century. He criticized Marx s ideas also for its unrealistic character that did not recognize the
sinfulness of human beings. Kuyper named two categories of his basic principles for understanding the areas of politics at the last part of his Ons program . The core of the first category, formal principles, consists in the fact of sinfulness of men. The second category, material principles, consists in sovereignty in individual
spheres , organism not aggregate , and freedom in spiritual development . These principles led to his position which
emphasized the influences and the continuity of communities which had been formed by blood ties and history. His principles also made him confine the desirable role of the state to rather limited areas and require the state interventions to be limited in terms of time and scope. His ideas highlight the importance of
communities vis-a-vis individuals as the main entity based on which the socio-economic phenomena are to be understood and also support gradual approaches in solving to social problems.
