What is a Conception about the World and Life?

Abstract

The conception of the world and life represents a fundamental interpretative framework through which the human being understands reality, existence and his own role in the universe. This article analyzes the nature, functions and structure of a conception of the world and life, highlighting its determining role in the formation of human thought, values and behavior. The main ontological, epistemological, axiological and theological questions to which a conception of the world responds are discussed, as well as the practical and logical implications of adopting different models of interpreting reality. Throughout the history of human thought, people have constantly sought answers to the fundamental questions of existence: who we are, why we exist, what is the purpose of life and what is the nature of the reality in which we live. The way these questions are answered coherently is articulated in a system of ideas known as a worldview. This is not just an abstract set of theoretical beliefs, but is the foundation on which individuals and communities build their values, moral decisions, social structures, and the meaning of life. Without a coherent worldview, human experiences remain fragmented, and reality becomes disjointed and directionless. KEYWORDS: worldview, human existence, reality, meaning of life, answers
