Twelve Ways of Seeing the World
Philosophies and Archetypal Worldviews for Understanding Human Consciousness
by Mario Betti
In his book, Twelve Ways of Seeing the World, Mario Betti strives to make sense of the world through different lenses framed as twelve archetypes; Phenomonalism, Sensualism, Materialism, Mathematism, Rationalism, Idealism, Psychism, Pneumatism, Monadism, Dynamism, Realism and Humanism.
Betti draws on the research of Rudolf Steiner and his twelvefold typology of human and cosmic thought to explore and validate each world view from its own unique perspective. In this way he means to transform dogmatism and enable a deeper dialogue.
The book includes a study guide World View by World View which comprises of templates for lesson structures and questions for discussion put together by the author Mario Betti and Kathelijne Drenth of the Cloverleaf Foundation, The Netherlands.
