Y1 - 2008/06/20/ N2 - The first part of this paper proposes a precise definition of what a worldview is, and why there is a necessity to have one. The second part suggests how to construct integrated scientific worldviews. For this attempt, three general scientific approaches are proposed: the general systems theory as the endeavor for a universal language for science, a general problem-solving approach and the idea of evolution, broadly construed. We close with some remarks about limitations of scientific worldviews. AV - public KW - worldview KW - problem-solving KW - systems theory KW - integrative worldview KW - scientific worldview ER -
