Abstracted Worldview
Introduction 04/04
I would like to call the worldview that posits this world as being governed by a single, ultimate entity the “Abstracted Worldview.” While all entities appear, at first glance, to maintain their independence, this worldview holds that they are ultimately nothing more than entities moving within the domain of that ultimate “super” entity, so to speak.
“Abstraction” refers to the process of forming general concepts from the properties common to individual things. An “Abstracted Worldview” is one that posits that all things share a single common property, or that all things were created from a single source. Therefore, in this text, the term “abstraction” will be used to mean “a concept that, in principle, encompasses all things, transcending all things that possess individual, concrete characteristics.”
“Symbolized Worldview” and “Abstracted Worldview”, these two worldviews are by no means mutually exclusive; they are simply two perspectives used to interpret a single worldview. These two worldviews are intertwined, and in some cases, what is essentially a “Symbolized Worldview” may be viewed from the perspective of an “Abstracted Worldview” (or vice versa). I believe you will understand this if you read this thesis to the end. Also, please note that while the following chapters interpret various worldviews, they are by no means organized chronologically. They are simply listed individually.
While one should generally avoid forcing connections between events that cannot be scientifically proven and presenting them as if they were true, the primary purpose of this essay is not to provide scientific proof of these events but to present my own unique worldview. I therefore ask my readers to kindly forgive me for writing in this manner.
