That we are responsible to the call of the Other on our lives - whether that Other is God, other people, or nature. That we cannot be fully human outside of healthy relationships. It says that the universe is relational at its core. There is a level beyond this which encompasses it and transforms it, which leads us into a bigger and better world. But there is something missing, something deeply wrong with this as our final picture of the universe. Lots of autonomous individuals, each striving to reach their goals and potential. The Second View goes beyond this to focus on growth and developing our potential - we are like trees, growing to meet our full potential.Īnd this is where it stops for most personal growth approaches and success literature. The First View is the standard scientific view, that the universe is a big machine and that we are intelligent animals, driven and determined by internal drives. I believe that there are three major worldviews. The worldview that we use determines what kind of world we see and how we live in that world.
