Weltbuilding


[Differences from the world view]
The world's problems are questions such as what is the world, why does it exist, what is it like, what place does man occupy in it, where am I, what is the mission assigned to me, and what can I do? Questions such as what is the world and what is man are also questions of what I can and must do. A worldview is thus an attitude toward the world that is linked to a view of life, and is distinct from a "world image" (Weltbild), which takes a position as if looking at the world from the outside. A worldview is an image that analyzes the world and captures the general relationships between recognized things in a unified way, but a worldview is also more than that; it expresses the "meaning" of the world for oneself, and is closely linked to one's way of life.
