%A Cl?ment Vidal %O Published in Dutch. %J De wetenschappen en het creatieve aspect van de werkelijkheid %T What is a worldview? %X 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. %D 2008 %K worldview, problem-solving, systems theory, integrative worldview, scientific worldview %L cogprints6094
