Our purpose is to help those engaged in a conversation regarding desperate world views move away from arguments surrounding the conclusions drawn from a world view and toward a discussion of the assumptions and conclusions required to accept a world view in the first place. The topics listed here get at the heart of our interpretation of the world around us and our preferences for humanity's future. When we begin to honestly evaluate our own world view we discover there are a shocking number of gaps in knowledge or experience that we've been perfectly happy to leap over in faith that the worldview as a whole is worth the risk. We shouldn't be talking about where our world view has gotten us in terms of philosophy, science, or morality, until we're sure we've gotten there honestly and consciously and are willing to acknowledge that the path that's led to our conclusions has had it's share of potholes and broken bridges. This is a partial list, more topics will be added as the group progresses.
Session 1
Home inspection
In our first session we reviewed what we mean when we use the term worldview and we looked at what lies beneath that term that will require our attention in future sessions.
