Abstract

The concept of “worldview” has become an important academic research field to comprehend the rapidly changing social dynamics in religious and philosophical domains, notably after 1950-1960. Each worldview with religious or secular beliefs has its meanings, principles, nature and characters. With the rise of modernism, Protestant Christianity, marginalised in the scientific and public spheres and confined to the private sphere, constructed the idea of "worldview" within the boundaries of its belief principles and created challenges to modern-secular society. Its worldview is divine and focuses on God's sovereignty over all life. Rather than purely doctrinal, it has a structure encompassing all the dynamics of individual and public life regarding religion, morality and politics. From a Calvinist perspective, the Protestant Evangelical worldview is promoted to people as "a system of truth and life that can withstand all problems" because of its ontological premise.

Özet

“Dünya Görüşü” kavramı hızla değişen sosyal dinamiklerin anlaşılabilmesi için özellikle 1950-1960’dan sonra dini ve felsefi açıdan akademik alanda yoğun şekilde araştırma konusu haline gelmiştir. Dini veya seküler inanç esaslarına sahip birçok dünya görüşü mevcuttur. Bunların kendilerine göre anlamları, ilkeleri, doğası ve karakterleri bulunmaktadır. Modernizm akımının ortaya çıkmasıyla beraber bilimsel ve kamusal alandan dışlanan ve bireysel alana sıkışan Protestan Hıristiyanlık inancı, bu dönemde, felsefe alanında kullanılan “dünya görüşü” kavramını kendi inanç esasları kapsamında dönüştürmüş ve modern-seküler kültüre karşı inanç savaşında kullanmıştır. Protestan Evanjelik dünya görüşü, yaşamın bütününde Tanrı’nın egemenliğine odaklanan “ilahi” bir karaktere sahiptir. Salt doktriner olmaktan ziyade, dini, ahlaki ve siyasi açıdan bireysel ve kamusal yaşam alanlarının tüm dinamiklerini kapsayan bir yapıdadır. Kalvinist bakış açısıyla ilk öncül varsayımı ontolojik olan Protestan Evanjelik dünya görüşü, “tüm sorunlara karşı koyabilecek bir hakikat ve yaşam sistemi” olarak bireylere sunulmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, gelişen yenidünya düzeninde ortaya çıkabilecek tüm toplumsal sorunların da çözüm adresi olarak gösterilmektedir.
