Worldview - a set of views and ideas of a person about the world around him, society and man’s place in the world.
Worldview structure: knowledge, spiritual values, principles, ideals, beliefs.
Forms of worldview:
attitude - a visual-sensory, figurative sense of the integrity of the world and one’s place in the world, based on personal experience, myth, social experience;
worldview - visual, but containing individual reasoning, abstract concepts, theoretical explanations, a representation of the surrounding world, its laws and oneself as part of this world;
worldview - based on a holistic theory, abstract and universal, a well-founded understanding of the essence of the world and the essence of man, a clear idea of the meaning of one’s life and a consistent pursuit of it.
Types of worldview:
ordinary, the source of which is personal experience or public opinion associated with everyday activities. It is specific, accessible, simple, gives clear and understandable answers to everyday questions;
religious, the source of which is a certain authority endowed with access to supernatural knowledge. It is holistic, answers spiritual questions, questions about the meaning of life;
scientific, based on rationally processed experience. It is evidence-based, clear and strict, but does not solve a person’s life problems;
philosophical, based on reason turned to itself. It is evidence-based, reasonable, holistic, but difficult to access.
1.3. Types of knowledge
Knowledge - the result of cognitive activity.
Cognition - activities aimed at gaining knowledge about the world around us, society and people.
Structure of cognition:
subject (the one who carries out cognition - a person or society as a whole);
object (what cognition is directed at);
knowledge (the result of cognition).
Forms of knowledge:
1. Sensual - cognition through the senses, giving direct knowledge about the external aspects of objects. There are three stages of sensory knowledge:
A) feeling - reflection of individual properties and qualities of objects that directly affect the senses;
b) perception - formation of a holistic image that reflects the integrity of objects and their properties that directly affect the senses;
V) performance - a generalized sensory-visual image of objects and phenomena, which is preserved in consciousness even in the absence of direct influence on the senses.
2. Rational - cognition through thinking, reflecting the essence of cognizable objects. There are three stages of rational knowledge:
a) concept - a form of thought that distinguishes objects according to essential characteristics and generalizes them into a class;
b) judgment - a form of thought that affirms or denies a certain state of affairs, a certain situation;
c) inference - a form of thought that moves from existing judgments to new ones.
Types of knowledge:
1. ordinary - knowledge acquired through practical activities and social interaction
2. mythological - figurative knowledge passed on from generation to generation
3. religious - knowledge based on belief in the supernatural
4. artistic - based on subjective creative revelation
5. scientific - systematic, theoretical, experimentally confirmed knowledge.
6. pseudoscientific - knowledge that imitates science, but is not science.
Epistemology - a branch of philosophy that studies knowledge, namely, the possibilities and limits of knowledge, methods of obtaining knowledge. In epistemology there are two main approaches:
epistemological pessimism (knowledge is impossible or significantly limited);
epistemological optimism (knowledge is possible).
Within the framework of pessimism there are:
the extreme direction is agnosticism, which considers all knowledge impossible, and all knowledge false;
and skepticism, doubting the possibilities of reliable knowledge.
Epistemological optimism is divided into empiricism and rationalism. Empiricists (sensualists) argue that cognition is based only on data from the senses. Rationalists believe that knowledge should be based only on reason.

Conventionally, all types of worldview are divided into two groups: socio-historical types and existential-personal types.
Already described earlier. You just have to refresh your memory: a worldview is a set of concepts, beliefs, values about life, about the person himself, about his position in life.
Types of worldview and life goals
Depending on what worldview we use, we set the corresponding life (), and, accordingly, according to the type of our understanding of the world, we choose a way to realize such a goal.
Unhappy and unsuccessful people usually take the goal from one worldview context, and the path to it from another. For happy and successful people, the goal and the path to it are in the same coordinate system (in the same context of their worldview).
Types of worldview, historical and social
They were formed in chronological order. It is very good to understand what the difference is - knowing the history of all mankind. From the Stone Age to the present day. Each period of time reflected the principles that lay in each of these types of worldview.
Another interesting fact: humanity developed - and its thinking developed, its worldview changed. And exactly the same thing happens with the development of a child. That is, in fact, every person, growing up, develops his own worldview by choosing appropriate goals.
Archaic type of worldview
This is humanity’s earliest understanding of the world, of man himself in it.
It is characterized by the fact that realism and fantasy are not separated from each other. These two concepts merged in the form of early beliefs: animism, fetishism, totheism. There is no clear division from your “I” and the world around you. As such an understanding, “Soul” does not exist at all. At the same time: all living things are endowed with life, like humans: from stone to the sun.
Life goals are not formed consciously: it is to please oneself and other animate beings (sacrifice, rituals, idols ....)
Mythological type of worldview
At this point in history, there is a clear separation of “oneself” from the world around us. And if there is an “I,” then there is a “He,” whose actions and thoughts may not coincide with mine. From such views, confrontation (confrontation) already occurs.
This is the era of cults and pantheons of gods. Just as life itself is full of confrontation and competition for a place in the sun, so myths are born about exactly the same confrontation between the gods.
Life goals are already acquiring a clearer structure and meaning: to be with the Powerful Ones of this world, to have power... to achieve the favor of a certain god or person...
Religious
Even more 
her division of the world. What is this world And that world. The concepts of soul, spirit and body appear. To God is God, to Caesar what is Caesar's.
The concept of faith appears - in the invisible, without critical analysis of the latter. Ideas common to all religions: about God’s creation of the world, about the concepts of good and evil, about the consequences of not following certain rules of behavior.
Life goals - according to the concept of faith that a person professes - are “correct” in its understanding of actions and thoughts.
Philosophical type of worldview
With an increase in knowledge about the person himself and the world around him, a collapse occurs (critical mass), when this knowledge needs to be rethought. This is how various schools of philosophy are formed.
If the knowledge is reinterpreted in the context of such a school, then they believe that the philosophy is the same, but is developing... If the contradictions with the old school are obvious, a new philosophical movement is formed.
Life goals in this context are personal growth, self-development, self-actualization, search for truth...
Exponential-personal types of worldview
It is formed according to the maturation of the person himself. From uncritical, not separating yourself from your mother to a teenage existential crisis... plus the external environment of influence is imposed.
The basis of each person’s worldview is a collective image from many types of worldviews. This can be either a harmonious combination of philosophy, faith and traditions, or without much criticism, various worldview laws are perceived as axioms.
Take the previously described types - mix something from the bottom into a pile, and you will have a modern person like this.
The goals will be different depending on which worldview concept dominates... The most interesting thing happens: when the goals are on one plane, and the paths to them are on another...
Dogmatic
Dogma is not critical, but conscious adherence to rules and laws, according to some worldview.
Pursuing goals - according to dogmas and rules.
Reflex
Reflexes are the subconscious following of certain rules. If the mind still takes part in dogmas, in reflection it is following the principles and rules without the participation of consciousness, reflexively, impulsively.
In this situation, reflection plays an inconspicuous but, sometimes, very significant role.
Choosing the right goal, according to the type of worldview
Many concepts from the listed types are firmly woven into our consciousness.
Some examples - then and now.
Archaic type: before - open worship of idols (all living things), now - baubles, beads, talismans... bringing good luck, the concept of many new people is “the living universe”...
Mythological type of worldview: earlier - worship of the pantheon of gods: Zeus, Veles, Iris..., now - from challing (receiving sacred knowledge from unearthly forms of being) to the influence of stars, the concepts of fate and karma, implicit and subtle worlds.
If a person fails, he cannot achieve success, here is the answer why this happens:choosing a goal not from one’s own type of worldview.
The fact is that changing your vision of the world is quite difficult, but choosing the right one that corresponds to the type of worldview is quite simple. It will only bring its own goal! From other people's goals, not your own, you will only be unhappy...
Good luck to you and choosing the right goals!
A person’s worldview is a set of views, assessments, imaginative ideas and principles that together reflect a person’s vision of this world and determine his place in it. Life positions are also an important component of a worldview, by which it is often easiest to determine what type it belongs to.
A formed and conscious attitude towards the world gives life a purposeful and meaningful character, therefore worldview is important for every person. This phenomenon is studied by philosophers and cultural scientists, who gave a classification to the worldview. In this article we will look at the most common one, but we must take into account that there are other classifications.
Basic types of worldview
First of all, we note that the term was first voiced by Kant, but he did not distinguish this concept from a worldview. The meaning that is accepted today was introduced by Schelling.
The classification of a worldview depends on several factors: firstly, the origin of the value system that a person adheres to is of great importance (for example, for identifying a religious worldview, this is an important determining factor). Secondly, the individual plays a large role in the definition. Thirdly, how aware a person is of the processes surrounding him is important.
Based on this, different scientists distinguish two classifications:
- Mythological, philosophical, socio-political, natural science and religious worldviews.
- A worldview of everyday experience, mythological and aesthetic.
Thus, the prevalence of different types of worldviews is related to the level of development of society.
