Worldview?

What elements would be important to stress or include in the formulation of a new worldview? Would we want to bring stuff from the past, or state a fully new worldview in our own modern day terminology? Do we suppose that ethics would play a part in it, or is ethics something that should be kept out of matters pertaining to worldview? Do we or should we have one or many worldviews? And if we have many, should those all pertain to something larger or more encompassing? Is there, that is, a supra-worldview or umbrella worldview that would inspire or include the rest, or should we continue with the idea of a strictly pluralist society? Is ethics something that could ever be codified globally?

  1. I think ethics are important, but extremely tricky becuase they change throughout different cultures, however, I feel as though the same basic principles are the same around the world, within humanity, it is just the greed and power get in the way and blind us. So, to answer your question, I think ethics is extremely important, but they need to be defined perhaps, in order to create a basic ground to stand on and build a new world view from there, once the moral foundations are established...make sense?
