Every person who has reached a certain level of development, adheres to some beliefs. Some believe that there is a God, others - that he is not, and others prefer to avoid such a system of coordinates altogether. And all such debates are united in one word - "views". This is what we will be talking about.
Meaning
We have already partly revealed to the reader the meaning of the object of study. But suddenly he will doubt: you never know what we come up with? Yes, our fantasy is indomitable, and sometimes it breaks off the leash. But in order for the reader to be sure that everything here is without deceit, we will enlist the support of an explanatory dictionary.
So, according to our constant companion, the meaning of the word "view" is the following: "way of thinking, point of view." Another interesting thing is this: how similar words “view” and “worldview” correlate. If we look into an explanatory dictionary in search of an answer, we will find out: a worldview is “a system of views, views on nature and society.” Yes, we agree that the definitions are outdated. But they capture the main thing quite clearly. outlook- this is a system of views, and the view may not be part of any system and not even be associated with it. And this is an important clarification for those who want to understand the subject.
Synonyms
For those who find it difficult to understand what a view is (nothing to worry about), we suggest another way - to consider substitutions of the object of study. Perhaps this will clear things up. So, straight to the list:
- look;
- opinion;
- judgment;
- principle;
- position;
- consideration;
- persuasion;
- vision.
The list turned out to be extremely wide and ambiguous. On the one hand, there is an “opinion”, which, as a rule, is changeable and depends on many factors, on the other hand, the list has sheltered the noun “principle”, which, on the contrary, is already something more or less constant. And most importantly, it is impossible to say who is right and who is not. For the reason that "view" is a word that has some individual interpretations. Even the point of view that is hidden behind this word can be accidental, situational, or it can be permanent and hard-won. Therefore, the question of the final meaning of the object of study is decided by the speaker, or rather the writer, because the word is bookish.
When are views born?
This is a mysterious question, so we saved it for later. Usually the question of beliefs is not so acute for a person. Generally accepted morality, based on Christian values (of course, wetalking about Western civilization). The main provider of views is the family. It is at home that we first learn what is bad and what is good and how we should behave in general. For many people this is enough. As for individual views, this is a delicate matter. After all, few people even think about why he thinks this way and not otherwise. As an exercise, we invite the reader to reflect on this question at their leisure.
