Abstract
“We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are.” – Anaïs Nin, from The Seduction of the Minotaur, 1961
Worldviews are an important concept, inherent in one way or another in a number of frameworks and approaches related to systemic design, including transition design and causal layered analysis, as well as broader cultural, political, philosophical and psychological perspectives. Manifesting worldviews is, by some definitions, something along the lines of interrelated sets of beliefs and assumptions about the world, a frame of reference in which everything presented to us by our diverse experiences can be placed – a belief system.
