<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_view#Construction_of_worldviews>According
to Apostel, a worldview is an ontology<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology>,
or a descriptive model <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_model> of the
world. It should comprise these six elements:

   1. An explanation <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explanation> of the world
   2. A futurology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurology>, answering the
   question "where are we heading?"
   3. Values, answers to ethical
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical> questions:
   "What should we do?"
   4. A praxeology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxeology>, or
methodology<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodology>,
   or theory of action <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(philosophy)>.:
   "How should we attain our goals?"
   5. An epistemology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology>, or theory
   of knowledge <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge>. "What is
true<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth> and
   false?"
   6. An etiology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiology>. A constructed
   world-view should contain an account of its own "building blocks," its
   origins and construction.
