How do you evaluate a worldview or philosophical system? (Ronald Nash) • OPINION: Tolerance or Ignorance? • Test of Reason • Logic • Noncontradiction: A cannot be both B and Non-B at the same time • Only a negative way of testing • Test of Outer Experience • What we know about the larger world outside of ourselves • Test of Inner Experience • What we know about ourselves • Memory, will, act by choosing not reaction • Test of Practice • Practical life in harmony with personal claims
Evaluate your own ethical system by the Four Tests • Test of Reason • Test of Outer Experience • Test of Inner Experience • Test of Practice • Analyze four (4) of your own ethics and values by each of the tests above. • Where is your ethical system or worldview supported strongly by the four tests? • Where is your ethical system lacking critical thinking by the four tests? • Compose two questions that will continue to guide your framing of your own worldview (two for each of the 4 values)
