Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
Nihism believes that truth and values are to be questioned and dismissed. This is somewhat similar to Existentialism when it comes to the conclusion that there is no objective meaning to life – so significance must be subjectively created within. Both of these seem to be heading in a similar direction.
Monotheism highlights the existence of God and His involvement with the universe. This varies greatly with Existentialism seems to put self on the throne of one’s life, and authenticates teh individual through their own choices – apart from a divine interaction.
-
In my opinion nihilism and naturalism would be similar in that they are showing no spiritual realm whatsoever.
Monotheism and naturalism seem to be the most dissimilar as they are at opposite ends of the spectrum for how this world came into existence and has changed.
-
Naturalism, Nihilism and Existentialism seem very similar to me. No God. No truth. No standard for morals. No meaning.
Pantheism is very different than the 3 listed above because they believe everything is God/Spirit – “everything has meaning”
-
I believe the two worldviews that are most similar are Monotheism and Diesm because they both believe in one God that created everything and that purpose is derived from God.
The two worldviews that I believe are the most dissimilar are Monotheism and Nihilism because Monotheism believes in one, all powerful, creator God that interacts with the people of the world and gives meaning. Nihilism rejects religion and faith and believes that objective truth and positive values are to be questioned and dismissed.

Most alike: Nihilism & Existentialism as they both have no meaning in life
