Our reading for this forum will be a chapter titled Worldview Thinking by the Christian Philosopher Ronald Nash. It comes from his book, Life’s Ultimate Questions: An Introduction to Philosophy.

We will discuss the chapter focusing on what a worldview is, why everyone has one, and how worldview thinking is a helpful tool for analyzing alternative views of reality.

Here are some helpful resources if you want to dig deeper:

Philosophy as Comprehensive Vision by philosopher Lewis Hahn (written for an audience of psychologists but has helpful insights on worldview thinking).

In Defense of Metaphysics by philosopher Brand Blanshard. A presentation and defense of metaphysics and worldview thinking.

From Gender Feminism to Catholicism by Kimberley Manning. Referenced by Nash as a change in worldview. Posted simply as an example.
