Title: Iffy...
Review: I find some of Naugle's uses of "worldview" are questionable, to say the least. Philosophers explain that because a culture has a certain WORD - like "worldview" - it does not follow that it has the corresponding CONCEPT. Intellectual history is good but one must use caution when doing these types of philological (and don't be fooled - this is more philology than philosophy), studies.Also, on an apologetic note - Calvinistic fideism is the rule in this book and it finally collapses into subjectivism (he tries to avoid it in a footnote in chapter one, unsuccessfully). If you have any evidentialist tendendcies, you won't find anything here. When all is said and done all he can say (and does say) is that theists and, say, 'non-theists,' just have different beliefes (shrug shoulders and walk away scratching head); that is what it amounts to.Two stars because it is interesting in some ways, just take with a large degree of healthy skepticism if you are an objectivist.
Is the review positive or negative?
