Abstract
The following are the most permanent intuitions, as it seems, pertaining to the meaning to the term Weltanschauung:
-
1.
Weltanschauung is a set of beliefs, predominantly general, which do not describe directly any singular situations.
-
2.
At least some of these beliefs are evaluative.
-
3.
These beliefs are a relatively stable component of the subjective context of individual or social practical activities—and consequently, it is possible to distinguish between individualWeltanschauung and social Weltanschauung.
