| Résumé: | This paper contributes to the ongoing debate surrounding the place of ‘worldviews’ in Religious Education. We examine the British Commission on Religious Education proposal that the subject be renamed ‘Religions and Worldviews’ from the perspective of Worldview Theory and Critical Religious Education and make the following suggestions: (a) the twin notion of ‘ultimate nature of reality’ and ‘our place in the ‘ultimate order-of things’ provides a substantial content for RE largely absent from the Commission’s vision; (b) worldviews are frequently implicit rather than explicitly affirmed in religious creeds and philosophical assertions; (c) worldviews are complex, interpersonal and take varying communal forms, surpassing the polarity of ‘personal’ and ‘institutional’; (d) the concept of ‘worldview’ has pedagogic and hermeneutical potential transcending content-driven curriculum development. |
