Top Highlights
“A worldview contains a person’s answers to the major questions in life, almost all of which contain significant philosophical content. It is a conceptual framework, pattern, or arrangement of a person’s beliefs. The best worldviews are comprehensive, systematic, and supposedly true views of life and of the world.” (Page 13)
“The sum total of all true propositions about a possible world makes up what some philosophers call the book about that world.” (Page 214)
“A naturalist believes that the physical universe is the sum total of all that is.” (Page 38)
“Logic can be only a negative test. While the presence of a contradiction will alert us to the presence of error, the absence of contradiction does not guarantee the presence of truth.” (Page 26)
“For every proposition (a meaningful sentence that is either true or false), there is a corresponding state of affairs.” (Page 210)
