Why You Think the Way You Do: The Story of Western Worldviews from Rome to Home -  Glenn S. Sunshine  epub/mobi

People often talk about worldview when describing the philosophy that guides their lives. But how have we come by our Western worldviews? This authoritative, accessible survey traces the development of the worldviews that underpin the Western world. It demonstrates the decisive impact that the growth of Christianity had in transforming the outlook of pagan Roman culture into one based on biblical concepts of humanity, that established virtually all the positive aspects of Western civilization  Postmodern philosophy and Islam are now changing and challenging what was known as Western Civilisation. What effect will this have in places like Europe?
Unique among books on the topic, this work discusses Western worldviews as a continuous narrative rather than as simply a catalogue of ideas, and traces the effects changes in worldview had on society. It helps readers understand their own worldviews and those of other people and helps them recognize the consequences that worldviews hold. Professors, students, and armchair historians alike will profit from this book.
