| Abstract | From the contention that no worldview can be both consistent and complete is derived the insight that a worldview is contextually dependent on past worldviews that it both transcends and includes. Madhyamika Buddhism illustrates the deconstructive aspect of this thesis--namely，that worldviews claiming completeness or independence are inconsistent. Process philosophy，on the other hand，is a theory that describes reality as the ongoing process of asymmetrical transcendence and inclusion of worldviews as perspectival events. It is argued that both Madhyamika and process philosophies can be used to formulate a transcultural theory of worldviews that is both classificatory and evaluative. |
