@WeirTodd just saw your second tweet. I think you are right about the danger. One way to undercut it would be to study Lived Worldviews just as we have done with religions to undercut the tendency to privilege rationalized (in the Weberian sense) WVs and claim they are incommensurable.

@WeirTodd I think both can be true.

Just watched Todd Weir's video. It's great. We need historians of worldview studies. But the totalizing worldviews he fears are like fundamentalism, not the whole picture. Most people's worldviews are more partial and pragmatic. https://t.co/K9ZFZrvI4w

@KvStuckrad @anntaves @easprem Gd point @kvstuckrad: recognising widespread of existentiality/worldview puts a different spin on this. & one wonders, did the nonreligious ever STOP having existential beliefs/cultures?...Tho, @WeirTodd might have something (important) to say about the term “worldview”.
