Mirian Webster' goes straight to the German word 'weltanschauung', to define 'worldview':   "Etymology:  German, from Welt world + Anschauung view : a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint ."    In other words,  a worldview is how each of us makes sense of:
1.) ourselves, and
2.) what is outside ourselves (of reality, value, meaning)

        Worldview embraces and reflects the truth/reality that connects reality to self.   It influences thought and action, feeling and future, growing and understanding. It encompasses the interpretation of what was, what is, what will be; it centers on existence (ontology),  becoming (progress),  activity (assumptions that direct action) and how we know what we know (epistomology).   It identifies meaning, purpose and a notion of right and wrong -- of 'What I ought to do, and what I most definitely should NOT do' -- morality and/or ethics.  For example, what comprises OUR worldview?    

         The Classical Greeks saw a place for religion, tradition, superstition, authority and Destiny (i.e., outside forces control human life) but more and more, the Greeks emphasized personal action, human rationality and responsibility in their Worldview.  This led directly to a unique and influential approach to life. The anthropomorphic Worldview of Homer, who was the 'Teacher of Hellas', came down more on the side of human activity as the center of Worldview, since even the gods are too much like humans to be gods.  The question is one of epmphasis and consistency, or not, of the 'majors' (classical drive for arete, clarity, reason, balance, harmony, order, rational law and politics -- and symmetry -- free of overwhelming emotion esp in beauty overcoming reason, authority/tradition overcoming critical thinking; Paideia-humanitas supreme over an individualism-stifling 'group-think').  In such an exploration and discussion, be clear as you define, delineate, deliver.

       In short:   How does the Worldview of Confucius, and the picture of a Confucian world, discipleship and action in the Judge Dee stories, compare and/or contrast with the Western Worldview?

      To complicate matters, we can add the Worldview of an originally Eastern religion -- Christianity -- that became an integral part of the Western Worldview (did Christianity change in this transplanting?). Confucianism is, in part, religion.  In part it is a code of ethics, a set of moral teachings. Christianity too is about the divine -- about humans, about God, about how humans should be and act in the face of the divine. So, the question invites the grey cells not only to activate and fire up neurons and flex glial cells, but also to arrive at some conclusion(s).

       To what extent do the elements of Worldview seen in the Analects and in Judge Dee relate to Classical Culture? Assuming that it is correct to use the phrase Classical Culture and that Christianity is an integral part of it, how do these two cultures agree, or not agree, on the big issues of the use of reason, education, gender, politics, religion, society, individualism, humanity, morality, aesthetics, etc? Is the World Worldview one, or many?  Is World History, at this point of inquiry, one of consensus, or one of contrast and conflict?  Is Western Civilization unique, or not?  Is Confucian culture a likely partner with the west, or do we see here an inherent Clash of Civilizations?  (for more on this last bit , cf Samuel P. Huntington's Clash of Civilization)
