Scope note: 1. Worldview: a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint called also Weltanschauung. (From: Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Available in https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/worldview) 2. Weltanschauung: This German word literally means "world view"; it combines "Welt" ("world") with "Anschauung" ("view"), which ultimately derives from the Middle High German verb schouwen ("to look at" or "to see"). When the English language first adopted it from German in the mid-19th century, "weltanschauung" referred to a philosophical view or apprehension of the universe, and this sense is still the most widely used. It can also describe a more general ideology or philosophy of life. (From: Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Available in: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/weltanschauung)
