Introduction to Worldview and Philosophy, Part I
By Stacy Dorais

Lesson 1: Introduction to Worldview and Philosophy

This course will introduce you to Biblical and current worldviews and philosophies and help you to recognize your own worldview and philosophy. You will be able to compare, develop, and defend a position that is reasonable, realistic, and theologically sound. You will also be able to trace the history of western philosophy from its Greek origins.

In order to better understand the difference between worldview and philosophy, read the article from Market Faith Ministries entitled “Worldview and Philosophy”: http://www.marketfaith.org/worldview-and-philosophy/

In these first lessons, we will be focusing on worldview, especially from a Biblical standpoint. A worldview is simply the way you view the world, the basic assumptions you have about life and how it works. A worldview is your understanding of reality. Often, people don’t even realize they have a worldview, or that others may have a differing worldview. Understanding your own view of the world will help you to recognize flaws, both in your own thinking and in the information you study. Philosophy is the study of the way the world works. As you study these ideas, you will need to think, reflect, write, and discuss the information you gather. Plan to discuss what you are learning with your parents, pastor, youth leader, or other Godly adults whom you respect, even if you aren’t specifically directed to do so.
