A rough attempt to delineate the difference between worldview and other related concepts:
- worldviews: different styles of thinking about reality
- ideologies: particular organized sets of beliefs about reality
- religion: any of a large number of mystically-oriented ideologies
- (list of religions can go here)
- science: a particular ideology which values observation and rational analysis
- postmodernism: a quasi-ideology which asserts that reality is a social construct
- religion: any of a large number of mystically-oriented ideologies
- ideologies: particular organized sets of beliefs about reality
...or should it be:
- worldviews: different styles of thinking about reality
- empirical: worldviews primarily valuing observation and analysis
- science: a worldview which values observation and rational analysis
- postmodernism: a worldview which asserts that reality is a social construct
- mystical: worldviews primarily valuing reflection and intuition
- religion: any of a large number of mystically-oriented ideologies
- (list of religions can go here)
- religion: any of a large number of mystically-oriented ideologies
- empirical: worldviews primarily valuing observation and analysis
...or does "postmodernism" belong under mystical, since most of the "analysis" is more intuitive than logical? Perhaps this is really a multi-dimensional spectrum, as in quantifying political ideologies.
...and how does "philosophy" (as in "3 a : a system of philosophical concepts b : a theory underlying or regarding a sphere of activity or thought <the philosophy of war>; 4 a : the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group m-w.com) fit in with this scheme?
