For anyone concerned to understand the culture in which we are called to work and witness, which ought to be all of us, this is still an indispensable resource., Revised and updated to include a new chapter on Islam by a contributing author, and incorporates developments about the worldview notion from Sire’s Naming the Elephant., To think intelligently today is to think worldviewishly, to come to terms with the mosaic of meaning systems which make up modern thinking. This book is a clear introduction and invaluable guide., For more than thirty years, The Universe Next Door has set the standard for a clear, readable introduction to worldviews. Sire offers additional student-friendly features to his concise, easily understood introductions to theism, deism, naturalism, Marxism, nihilism, existentialism, Eastern monism, New Age philosophy and postmodernism., If you are looking for an introductory exposition of prominent worldviews, I know of no better book., Read as a whole it traces a convincing history of the evolution of worldviews (particularly in the West), as well as providing a robust defence of the enduring validity of the Christian faith . . . an excellent introduction.
