摘要：David Naugle’s book, Worldview: The History of a Concept, offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary history
and analysis of the concept of worldview from an Evangelical Reformed perspective with the aim of converting
it to Christian use—specifically, to disabuse it from association with historicism, relativism, and anti-realism.
Despite his theological agenda, his wide ranging discussion provides good food for thought to anyone
interested in the nature, history, and development of the concept of worldview and the problems of historicism,
relativism, and anti-realism. While his account of Polanyi’s understanding of worldview in connection with
the natural sciences is sympathetic and sound, he does not draw as fully as he could have on the resources of
Polanyi’s thought in developing his own more general understanding of worldview.
