What lies behind your thoughts about almost everything? For more than thirty years, James W. Sire has grappled with this issue. In his widely used textbook \u003cem\u003eThe Universe Next Door, \u003c\/em\u003e first published in 1976, Sire offered a succinct definition of a worldview and catalogued in summary fashion seven basic worldview alternatives. Students, critics, new literature and continued reflection have led him to reexamine and refine his definition of a worldview. This second edition companion volume to \u003cem\u003eThe Universe Next Door\u003c\/em\u003e is the fruit of that effort, offering readers his most mature thought on the concept of a worldview, addressing such questions as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the history of the concept itself?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the first question you should ask in formulating a worldview?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow are worldviews formed existentially as well as intellectually?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs a worldview primarily an intellectual system, a way of life or a story?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are the public and private dimensions of a worldview?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat role can worldview thinking play in assessing your own worldview and those of others, especially in light of the pluralism in today's world?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eNaming the Elephant\u003c\/em\u003e is an excellent resource for exploring more deeply how and why worldview thinking can aid you in navigating your pluralistic universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-316957\"\u003eJames W.
