| Summary: | In an earlier contribution on the use of the term worldview' in various theological discourses I commented on the confusing connotations attached to the term in neo-Calvinism, the sociology of knowledge, African theology, science and theology' and religion and ecology'.1 This contribution builds on that earlier one by raising the question whether the category of worldviews' can perhaps help to hold together the categories of evolution and religion - while doing justice also to an ecological awareness.2 The conclusion is a negative one, namely that this is unlikely, given the conceptual confusion over what a worldview' entails. Nevertheless, it at least indicates the terrain where contestation takes place. |
