First, what the heck is a worldview?
How you view the world, the sum of your knowledge and hopes and beliefs:
quote:
A comprehensive world view or worldview is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the entirety of the individual or society's knowledge and point of view. A world view can include natural philosophy; fundamental, existential, and normative postulates; or themes, values, emotions, and ethics.[1] The term is a calque of the German word Weltanschauung [ˈvɛlt.ʔanˌʃaʊ.ʊŋ] ( listen), composed of Welt ('world') and Anschauung ('view' or 'outlook')[2] The German word is also used in English.
It is a concept fundamental to German philosophy and epistemology and refers to a wide world perception. Additionally, it refers to the framework of ideas and beliefs forming a global description through which an individual, group or culture watches and interprets the world and interacts with it.
Weltanschauung and cognitive philosophy
One of the most important concepts in cognitive philosophy and cognitive sciences is the German concept of Weltanschauung.[citation needed] This expression has often been used to refer to the "wide worldview" or "wide world perception" of a people, family, or person.[citation needed] The Weltanschauung of a people originates from the unique world experience of a people, which they experience over several millennia.[citation needed] The language of a people reflects the Weltanschauung of that people in the form of its syntactic structures and untranslatable connotations and its denotations.
The interactions of worldview and language shows how beliefs color interpretations of some words, and this can explain some of the different reactions of people to words, why some words are "dog-whistle" terms or "trigger words" that connect to their worldview in specific ways.
