Contemporary philosophy of science has
struggled considerably over an apparently simple question: how does one
distinguish between scientific and non-scientific knowledge? The search for a
criterion of demarcation between science and non-science has been laborious but
not very rewarding. This article presents the contribution provided by
Reformational philosophy, a relatively small Christian school in which, it is
argued, a plausible solution to the demarcation problem was offered. The views
of the relevant authors are sketched, with the conclusion that (since its
beginnings in the 1930s) the discussion on the demarcation criterion among
Reformational philosophers shows considerable consensus.
