Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
I believe that Nihilism and Existentialism have the most in common. Both of these worldviews hold to the idea that “life is what you make of it”. Personal choice creates significance and determines true “meaning”. Monotheism and Pantheism are the most dissimilar. While monotheism believes strictly in one God, pantheists believe in multiple gods. Monotheism believes that God is everywhere but separate from His creation and pantheism believes that everything that exists is god.
-
I think Monotheism and Deism are probably most alike because both worldviews acknowledge a God, a Creator of the universe and all living beings; the only difference is between these worldviews is the degree to which God intervenes in daily life.
The two most dissimilar worldviews would have to be monotheism and nihilism. In one worldview is an loving, righteous, and purposeful God who created all things; on the other end is the existence of no God and a complete meaninglessness to humanity’s life and purpose on earth.
-
I would say most similar worldviews would be Deism and Monothesis because they both belive in one God as the creator and that we were created by God.
The most dissimilar would be Monotheism and Nihilism. Monotheism believes we were created by God and designed by God, where Nihilism seeks to prove that life is meaningless and rejects all religious principles and values.
-
Most alike: Nihilism and Existentialism
Most dissimilar: Monotheism and Nihilism
-
Monotheism and Pantheism, both believe there is a God, but the character of God for them differs.
Nihilist and Existentialist are similar because they feel that there is no god and Mankind is superior, they are on the opposite spectrum of Monotheism and Pantheism.
