(1999) World views and the problem of synthesis, Dordrecht, Springer.

In search of an integrated view on the whole of reality

introducing the worldview project

Jan Van Der Veken

pp. 1-10

A "World View" is "a house for the Spirit" (F. Lange). In a house, there are many rooms. They do not all have the same function. A living-room is normally not a study room, and a bathroom has its own finality. Nevertheless, the rooms of a house are connected with one another: they are integrated into a whole, because the same family is living in it. Why should it be different with the family of mankind, living on earth?
