What is a worldview? 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 The Universe Next
Door, 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
The Universe Next Door is the fruit of that effort, offering
readers his most mature thought on the concept of a worldview,
addressing such questions as What is the history of the concept
itself? What is the first question you should ask in formulating a
worldview? How are worldviews formed existentially as well as
intellectually? Is a worldview primarily an intellectual system, a
way of life or a story? What are the public and private dimensions
of a worldview? What role can worldview thinking play in assessing
your own worldview and those of others, especially in light of the
pluralism in today's world? Naming the Elephant is an excellent
resource for exploring more deeply how and why worldview thinking
can aid you in navigating your pluralistic universe.
