Whatever we do or not do, whatever we think, value or hate, how we behave and whatever we believe in or not in our life mainly depends on one thing: our worldview. An oversimplified analogy might be: Whenever we change our eyeglasses, our view of things around us changes because our eyeglasses determine what we are able to see or not to see.
Everybody has a worldview. Rich or poor, smart or stupid, believer or non-believer. All things in our life depend on our worldview. Derived from the German word “Weltanschauung,” it refers to a belief system holding all significant concepts of our life such as God, cosmos, knowledge, behavior, values, humanity and history. It is like a kind of a grand perspective of our world and our life.
In more scientific terms, worldview is a mental structure forming our ultimate beliefs. It provides a general context for life, including a vision of what we consider “authentic” or “real.”
Having a peace of mind requires a well-balanced life, based on realistic assumptions of all basic and critical aspects of our human being. Philosophers identify the worldview as the “big question of life.”
According to philosophers, our worldview should answer to the following most important questions of our life:
1. Ultimate reality: What kind of God, if any, in fact,the exists?
1. External reality: Is there anything beyond the cosmos?
2. Knowledge: What can be known – and how can anyone know it?
3. Origin: Where did I come from?
4. Identity: Who am I?
5. Morals: How should I live?
6. Values: What should I consider of the greatest worth?
7. Predicament: What is humanity’s fundamental problem?
8. Resolution: How can humanity’s problems be solved?
9. Past/Present: What is the meaning and direction of history?
10. Destiny: Will I survive the death of my body and if so, in what state?
