EVERYONE HAS A WORLDVIEW! Everyone has a worldview. It is how we see the world around us, and it is the filter we use for interacting with others. Our worldview is something that develops over our lifetime. It is formed by our upbringing, our environment, our experiences, our education, our religious beliefs, our culture, and everything else that touches our lives. Justin Alfred helps us to understand the different worldviews and how they impact our lives. Session 2 – Philosophy The word "philosophy" literally means, "love of wisdom." However, as we will see, there is a worldly love of our narcissistic selves, out of which comes a philosophy based on the premise that we are indeed "our own gods." Now certain groups may not actually refer to themselves as "gods," but that is indeed what is happening, as man-centered philosophies focus on the idea that through the pursuit of knowledge, just as Aristotle proclaimed, we can reach a point of "self-deification," whereby we will be able to understand all of the mysteries of the world. However, Psalm 139:14 makes it quite clear that the very essence of our being cannot be grasped apart from the starting point that God, in His infinite wisdom, created and formed the most minute microcosms of the entirety of creation.
