Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
Existentialism and Naturalism are most alike because they focus on science or an attitude to explain the way the world is.
Pantheism and Naturalism – are most dissimilar because one acknowledges God and the other bases existence on science
-
Most alike – Monotheism and Deism both acknowledge God as the creator of the universe
Most dissimilar – Monotheism believes in intelligent design and Naturalism believes in randomness
-
Most alike – Nihilism and Existentialism – nothingness
Most Dissimilar – Nihilism and Pantheism. There is nothing, everything is God.
-
Monotheism and pantheism are most dissimilar. Despite their similar suffixes, they are completely opposite. Since polytheism believe that everything is God, this directly contradicts what monotheism teaches in that there is one God, creator of all things.
Nihilism and existentialism are most similar. They both believe life is essentially meaningless.
-
Existentialism and nihilism are very much alike but I think they have different levels of apathy. Monotheism and pantheism are the least similar as they have completely different ideas.
