-
Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
I would say most similar worldviews would be Deism and Monothesis because they both belive in one God as the creator and that we were created by God.
The most dissimilar would be Monotheism and Nihilism. Monotheism believes we were created by God and designed by God, where Nihilism seeks to prove that life is meaningless and rejects all religious principles and values.
-
Most alike: Nihilism and Existentialism
Most dissimilar: Monotheism and Nihilism
-
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.
