There are a lot of worldview books available, and it seems like more come out every month. So why a new one? How is Glenn Sunshine's slim guide unique from other treatments?
Instead of simply presenting major worldviews and offering commentary, Sunshine traces the progress of the collective Western worldview, from Greco-Roman philosophy to the current prevailing zeitgeist. While some major philosophical ideas are glossed over—even to the point of misrepresentation—for the most part this is a good introduction to the ideas that shape the way people think.
This is for older students and adults. While some younger kids may be able to follow the reasoning, some of the issues presented are mature (but not gratuitous). Overall readable, this is a good quick introduction to worldview in its ideological context.
