The good, sublime worldview has the following characteristics:
It can be deduced and proven (is supported by reason and logic).
It gives meaning to life; it banishes from minds the idea that life is
vain and futile, that all roads lead to vanity and nothingness.
It gives rise to ideals, enthusiasm, and aspiration.
It has the power to sanctify human aims and social goals
It promotes commitment and responsibility.
That a worldview is logical paves the way to rational acceptance of it
and renders it admissible to thought. It eliminates the ambiguities and obscurities that
are great barriers to action.
That the worldview of a school of thought gives rise to ideals lends it
a magnetism as well as a fervour and force. That a worldview sanctifies the aims of a
school of thought leads to individuals' easily making sacrifices and taking risks for the
sake of these aims. So long as a school is unable to sanctify its aims, to induce feelings
in individuals of worshipfulness, sacrifice, and idealism in relation to the aims of the
school, that school of thought has no assurance that its aims will be carried out.
That a worldview promotes commitment and responsibility commits the
individual, to the depths of his heart and conscience, and makes him responsible for
himself and society.
