With the development of man and society, the need for revealing the secrets of the surrounding world, its structure, principles and laws grew. The answers to these and other philosophical questions are given by the worldview that is formed in culture.

Step 1
Worldview is a system of views, opinions and ideas of a person about the world around him and himself. These are beliefs, principles followed by a person, his value orientations, ideals. A worldview is developed as a result of a person's spiritual activity, knowledge of the world and oneself.
Step 2
There are five main types of worldview: ordinary (everyday), scientific, mythological, religious and philosophical.
The ordinary worldview is influenced by the direct life experience of a person, his practical activities. It can also include the experience of previous generations in the form of traditional representations of the world. Everyday worldview is weakly connected with the achievements of culture and science and is based mainly on common sense.
Scientific worldview, on the contrary, directly depends on the achievements of human knowledge and includes a scientific picture of the world, systematized knowledge.
The mythological worldview is characteristic of the initial stages of the development of human society. It corresponds to such ideas about the world as:
- anthropomorphism - animating nature and objects, attributing human properties to them;
- explanation of events in the form of legends and fairy tales;
- immunity to contradictions, inability to distinguish fiction from reality, subjective from objective;
- belief in magic, spirits.
Religious worldview is associated with belief in the supernatural - God or deities - with rituals and spiritual values that correspond to a particular religion or belief.
The philosophical worldview develops at the level of theoretical consciousness, free from beliefs. It seeks to describe the universal principles of reality as objectively as possible, using reason and knowledge for this.
Step 3
Worldview plays an important role in people's lives. It contributes to the formation of a holistic view of the processes taking place in society and within oneself, the development and systematization of various methods of cognition of the surrounding world. The worldview allows a person to integrate into society, as well as to find guidelines for their development, to form values. The process of forming a worldview is long and complex, and sometimes the search for oneself continues throughout life.
