Why You Think the Way You Do: The Story of Western Worldviews from Rome to Home

4.60 out of 5 stars

Description

The concept of worldview is a crucial aspect of understanding our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Our worldviews shape how we perceive reality, and they have a profound impact on our relationships, culture, and society as a whole. However, the development of worldviews is often overlooked, and we rarely stop to consider how they were formed and what influences have shaped them. In Why You Think the Way You Do, historian and professor Glenn S. Sunshine provides an in-depth exploration of the development of Western worldviews, tracing their evolution from ancient pagan Roman culture to the present day. Sunshine argues that the growth of Christianity had a transformative impact on Western worldviews, establishing the foundations for many of the positive aspects of modern Western society. He also examines the challenges posed by postmodern philosophy and neo-atheist thought, which have led to a decline in the biblical worldview and its influence on Western culture. By understanding the historical roots of our worldviews, we can better appreciate the complexities of our own beliefs and values, as well as those of others. This book provides a comprehensive and engaging survey of Western worldviews, helping readers to recognize the profound impact that worldviews have on our lives and our societies.
