Books like Naming the Elephant by James W. Sire


For over three decades, James W. Sire has studied the concept of a worldview. In this book he presents his most mature perspective, exploring the history of the term, the questions that shape a worldview, and how it is formed both intellectually and existentially. He discusses whether a worldview is an intellectual system, a way of life, or a narrative, and examines its public and private dimensions. Drawing on his earlier work, *The Universe Next Door*, Sire refines his definition and provides practical insight for assessing one’s own worldview and those of others in today’s pluralistic context.
