-
Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
Monotheism and Pantheism, both believe there is a God, but the character of God for them differs.
Nihilist and Existentialist are similar because they feel that there is no god and Mankind is superior, they are on the opposite spectrum of Monotheism and Pantheism.
-
Existentialism and Nihilism are the two most similar.
Monotheism is unlike any of the others, believing that there is one God, one creator, one divine being that everyone, regardless of beliefs answer to.
-
I think that monotheism and deism are quite similar in that fact that they both affirm the existence of a Creator. Similarly, nihilism and existentialism espouse that there is no objective truth, but existentialism answers this by saying we must create our own meaning.
I think that monotheism and naturalism are the most dissimilar in that monotheism says all things are because of God, and naturalism says that nothing is because of God.
-
Existentialism and Nihilism would be the two most similar in my opinion. They both focus on the here and now with no regard for the future.
Monotheism and Deism would be the most alike because they both believe in a higher power.
-
I think the two most alike are Existentialism and Nihilism. Both of these lean towards “this is it” and “don’t over think” because “it doesn’t matter” beliefs.
I think the two most dissimilar are Naturalism and Pantheism. Nationalism is all about scientific matter, making the spirit an illusion. Pantheism is all about the spirit, making scientific matter an illusion.
