Worldviews are NOT philosophic systems; rather they are
pretheoretical commitments and are in direct contact NOT so much

lived.

race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the
thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.”

heart will be also.”

Worldview
Worldview is a set of beliefs (about the significant issues in life).

Everybody has his/her

worldview but majority
unaware that they have one.

These worldviews function as interpretive conceptual schemes

to explain why we “see” the world as we do, why we often
think and act as we do.

Faculty of heart → kemampuan hati manusia untuk melekat,
bersandar, menempel kepada sesuatu.

Hati membuat seluruh eksistensi diri manusia diarahkan atau

dicondongkan kepada sesuatu/ seseorang.

disitulah hatimu berada.”
(Mat 6:21).

“dari situlah [hati] terpancar

kehidupan. (Ams. 4:23)
