Just started reading this book, containing a series of lectures delivered by Abraham Kuyper. It's amusingly non-PC, which you might expect, considering he delivered those lectures in 1898. He has some interesting arguments about which worldviews, or as he likes to say, "life systems," contribute to a more free and fair society.

He breaks down these life-systems into 5 primary philosophies:

  1. Paganism
  2. Modernism
  3. Roman Catholicism
  4. Islamism
  5. Calvinism

    These five systems, Kuyper contends, each propose their own distinct schema for how we humans (should) relate to God, our fellow man, and the world/nature. Obviously, many people would take issue with dividing these systems up on seemingly religious grounds, but I think Kuyper's argument would be that you cannot establish a complete worldview without some opinion toward the metaphysical. Kuyper subsumes atheism, agnosticism, or whatever flavor of anti-theism one may prefer, under the umbrella of Modernism.

    Anyway, it may not be airtight, but this way of looking at the world and its competing "life-systems" provides an interesting opportunity for thought experiments, e.g., trying to imagine some system of thought that evades Kuyper's definitions.
