Worldviews Comparison - Alex McFarland
what is a worldview?
A worldview is simply a view of the world. Everyone has one. A worldview is the set of beliefs we hold about the big questions of life.
Here’s how some experts describe a worldview:
A worldview is a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true, or entirely false) which we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic makeup of our world.
—James W. Sire, The Universe Next Door: A Basic Worldview Catalog
A worldview is a map of reality. It is the framework of beliefs, values, and images within which a person makes decisions and conducts the business of living.
—Leland Ryken, Culture in Christian Perspective
…every person carries within his head a mental model of the world – a subjective representation of reality.
—Alvin Toffler, Future Shock
Green globewhy is your worldview important?
Whether you know it or not, your worldview influences the decisions you make in life: Whether you go to church or go surfing instead; whether you pursue earthly wealth or spiritual gain; whether you live in fear or hope.
Some beliefs you might hold strongly, while other beliefs you probably don’t think about often. Your worldview changes as your beliefs change. If you change the strong core beliefs in your worldview, then your life will change drastically.
Your worldview may or may not be true, just like beliefs. A worldview can be true about some things and not true about other things. Beliefs in a worldview are true if they match up with what really is.
