Summary
In ordinary parlance, a “worldview” is a fundamental and all-encompassing cognitive perspective on, or way of valuing or thinking about, the world. Heidegger understands worldview existentially – that is, as a modality of being-in-the-world, in which a particular stance (Haltung) or way of having a hold on the world predominates.
