What Is a Worldview?

What is a Worldview?

1.) It is our foundation and ultimate presupposition
2.) It is the way in which we view the World

A. It deals with the question of:

1.) Physics (What is the Physical World)
2.) Metaphysics (What is also in this world beyond the physical)
3.) Epistemology (How do you know what you know?)
4.) Ethics (How should we live?)

B. Another way of thinking about it:

1.) Who are you?
2.) Why are you here? (PURPOSE?)
3.) Why does the world exist instead of not exist?
4.) How did the World come about?
5.) Where are you going when you die?

Everyone has a Worldview

Just ask anyone:

1.) What is reality?
2.) How do you know what you know?
3.) How shall we then live?

Presuppositional Apologetics

          Metaphysics

Ethics                    Epistemology

The building blocks' to one's Worldview, if they are to be rational, are interconnected (or Circular); if not, your worldview would not be able to account for certain things, and you would have arbitrary beliefs.

For instance, your epistemology (how you know what you know) will determine the content of what you know (your physics and metaphysics); yet, what you know (physics, metaphysics) will help determine one's theory of knowledge (epistemology).

As Christian the Bible should dictate our Worldview.

For other worldviews, we critique their ideas to see if they can account for certain things and experiences.
