Worldview - Religion, Philosophy, Reason, Reflection

A person's worldview contains two important features.  First, it includes the set of beliefs the person accepts, especially those about important matters such as reality, God, value, knowledge, and so on.  But a worldview is more than just a set of beliefs.  Consider, for example, this sentence: "The best time to visit Disneyland is in the fall during the week."  It is not just a list of thirteen words.  Rather, it is a grouping of words whose unity consists in the grammatical structure that occurs among them.  Similarly, a worldview includes the rational structure that occurs among the set of beliefs that constitute it.  Some beliefs are central and basic, while others are relatively peripheral.
