Synopsis

Excerpt from The World-View of the Fourth Gospel: A Genetic Study

Two definitions will serve to demonstrate the practical nature of the world-view. According to August Baur it is not a purely theoretical relation to nature, although the theoretic moment is undeniably contained in it - not a purely disinterested apprehension and knowledge of the world as a sum of particulars; it includes much more a practical personal interest in itself; for it is a judgment of worth upon the world as a whole, as a single given magnitude in space and time in relation to the life-aim, the life-determination of the viewing subject. It is a considera tion and valuation of existence in space and time in the light of our own proper life-aim, which in the most general sense of the word we are able to designate as a moral one.
