overall perspective from which one sees and interprets the world; a collection of beliefs about life and the universe
www.teachingaboutreligion.org/MiniCourse/glossary.htm


(lifeview): A set of assumptions and perspectives that are true, partly true or completely false, which we hold consistently or inconsistently, consciously or unconsciously, through which we make sense of our lives and our world. This is the case for individuals and collectively for a society or culture, as well.
www.biggerpicture.org/definiti.htm


A person's (often unverbalized) overall evaluation of life, the universe, or the very essence of existence as being essentially positive or negative. A person with a positive worldview sees life as basically good, secure, friendly, happy, or unthreatening, or having some other positive valence. For a person with a negative world view, on the other hand, life is seen as essentially bad, insecure, threatening, unpleasant, hostile, uncertain, and/or full of many dangers. Worldview, then, is a judgment individuals make about the quality of existence. It is not to be confused with one's empirical knowledge of social, economic, political, or other events. (See mental representation; personality subtheory)

También hay una palabra en alemán para esto: Weltanschauung, tan común que se utiliza mucho en otros idiomas (de hecho, yo no hablo alemán), especialmente en el campo de la filosofía.

Cosmovision

ANDINA COSMOVISION



The andina cosmovision conceives the life, like something consubstantial to all what exits in the world. The man is not feeling out or over the nature, but he is its part, living with his middle environment, an unique and indivisible relation of respect, consideration and reciprocity. This special way to exist is ritually expressed in music, singing, attractive legends, beautiful craftsmanship, etc.

agree Muriel Vasconcellos : Yes, the word is recognized in English as the name of a Meso-American religion. BUT, Ricardo, your explanation is not sufficient. It is copied from what is obviously a poor translation, and that isn't good enough.
