Group Discussions: Spokesmen person
1. Definition of wisdom? Who has life experience and their own personal beliefs of what is
right and what is wrong. Old people who have life experience and have gone through a lot,
knowledge everyone can have but wisdom is going through the true definition of what's right
and wrong.
2. How is wisdom different from knowledge? You don’t learn wisdom, you gain wisdom
overtime from your experiences in life. Knowledge you can be taught at any day, any
time. Knowledge can be taught and learned but wisdom you gain on your own. Knowledge is
facts that you can just remember.

3. Why start out with this concept instead of beginning with one’s worldview?
To get practice and other knowledge of someone’s beliefs. To get practice and
understand others perspectives and belief



Notes: The Ancients Looked for Wisdom
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life,
ourselves, and the world around us. Socrates
The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom. King Solomon
Knowing yourself is the beginning of Wisdom. Aristotle
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it
agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. Buddha
Why wisdom and not knowledge?

Introduction to Worldview
Webster's Dictionary definition of worldview
“A comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world, especially from a specific
standpoint.”

James W. Sire (2004)
A commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a
set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true, or entirely false) which we
hold (consciously or subconsciously) about the basic constitution of reality, and that provides
the foundation on which we live and move and have our being. (p. 122)

A Commitment
1. Of the mind- Thinking about the decisions you make and why you are making them
2. Of the spirit- Something that pushes you in a direction
3. Of the whole person- Soul
4. The bible calls this the “Heart”

An Expression
1. Through a story
a. Big Bang, formation of planets life
b. Creation, Fall, Redemption
2. Through a set of proposition

Assumptions
1. True or not
2. Conscious or not
3. Consistent or not

What is the importance of humility when interacting with someone who has a different
worldview than you?
Being able to accept someone who has a different worldview than you, by not judging them and
actually hearing them out. Taking the time to understand someone, rather than assuming they
are not as good as you. Being accepting of someone no matter what worldview they have.

, Humility: Being humble and accepting someone for who you are. Having respect for others.

Neutrality
Can you be neutral with your worldview?
- Neutrality: very difficult to be
- Everyone holds a commitment to certain principles or views: this automatically makes
one biased
- These commitments are emotional as well as intellectual
- If you are neutral about your worldview, then you are uncommitted.
- Uncommitted people are everywhere!
Objectivity
Is objectivity attainable?
- Ability to listen with patience and care
- Ability to “see through another’s eyes”
- Not agreement
- Civil disagreement; controlling one’s emotions
3-Way Test
- Coherence test- examines the internal consistency and rational coherence of worldview
assumptions. Is it internally consistent?
- Correspondence test- examines a worldview’s ability to provide a cogent explanation of
reality. Does it respond or does it have consistency with reality?
- Practical test- examines a worldview’s workability and practical value in the most
important areas of life and experience. As we examine the worldview, is it practical?
Elements
- Ultimate Reality: Is there a first-cause? Is it personal? Is he/she a being?
- Nature of the Universe: Is the Universe all there is?
- Human Nature: What does it mean to be human?

Is the Universe open or closed?
Close- All the energy that exists right now has always and will always exist.
Open- something outside this universe is putting energy in or taking energy out.

Elements
- Knowledge: How do I know? And is this truth or does it lead to truth?
- Ethics: How should I live and what does that mean?
- Purpose: Is there a reason that I am here?
- Objective: Scientific truth
- Subjective: Moral truth

Three Major Worldviews
- Atheism- No God; the physical universe is all there is (maybe)
- Pantheism- Everything is part of God
- Theism- poly and mono- a personal being or beings
