Long story short I was tripping out today and was just writing down some thoughts. I kept on getting stuck when I was trying to find a word for a given person's perspectives, meaning their opinions, expectations, thoughts, etc. I guess the closest thing I could think of is the phrase 'world view' but I don't really like that... Does anyone have a better word?
you want a single word that compiles "another person's views/opinions/whatever/insert word here"? good luck... i can't come up with anything.
the word is german, it is called weltanschauung, and here is the definition. a comprehensive view of the world and human life wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn a person's or a group's conception, philosophy or view of the world; a worldview en.wiktionary.org/wiki/weltanschauung A German term referring to a person's worldview or philosophy. www.gale.cengage.com/free_resources/glossary/glossary_tz.htm
