Q. what are some western worldviews?
Asked by KYRA M - Wed Feb 4 13:09:52 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You have to define what you mean by "the West," which is already a pretty nebulous concept. I would say the defining facet of "a Western worldview" is an unfounded belief in one's own superiority which is derived strictly from his or her presence in "the West."

What's one argument for the proposition that the Newtonian worldview is a valid view of reality?
Q. What's one argument on the other side?
Asked by Tracey C - Thu Oct 30 15:14:51 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. That everything we experience in our day to day lives can be predicted by Newtonian mechanics. What's the other side, quantum or relativity? Either way, the argument is that Newtonian mechanics fail when applied to those realms, so the quantum/relativistic argument is that Newtonian mechanics is only an approximation that only works in certain situations, and those situations happen to be the ones we experience in day to day life.
