I figure for this blog, I'll chronicle my activities, and start with some informal musings on the concept of worldview, which I'm creating a faculty training for at my university. It's clear to me that worldview ends up having a particular power in a postmodern context. It's also clear to me that this solves the problem of the "Enlightenment Project," which attempts to construct an indubitable ground of certainty for human knowledge. The message of postmodern epistemology is that it can't be done, and I agree.

But the failure of the Enlightenment Project has consequences for faith-based worldviews like the Christian one, I think. Next, a little history of the term and concept, digesting and restating some material from David Naugle's Worldview: History of a Concept.
