The Universe Next Door
By James Sire
With over a quarter million copies in print in three editions, this book has established itself as the premier textbook on worldviews. In clear, readable prose, James W. Sire explains the basics of Christian theism, deism, naturalism, nihilism, existentialism, Eastern pantheistic monism, New Age philosophy postmodernism. In an increasingly pluralistic academic environment, the ability to understand and evaluate various worldviews is vitally important. This new edition includes updates throughout. But most significantly it reflects refinements in Sire’s definition and thinking about the nature of worldviews themselves, which are taken up in greater detail in the companion volume, Naming the Elephant: Worldview as a Concept.
This is background reading and a resource for the Epiphany 2006 worldviews course.
