13. 13. Component Western African Christian God A secular, materialistic, capitalist god Post-Christian A Creator God who keeps his distance Does not demand responsibility, supplanted by an unpredictable spiritual world Pre-Christian The personal God of the Bible, Creator, Sustainer and Supreme Authority Christian Norms Individual autonomy Subjectivism (things are laws) Self-interest, individual egotism Communal autonomy Subjectivism (the kinship group is the rule) Group interests, group egotism Heteronomy Gods will, made manifest in Gods (directional and structural) laws are positivised in norms for different areas of life Man A (reductionist?) anthropology characterised by individualism, materialism, hedonism, etc. A (reductionist?) anthropology in which one aspect (the communal) is absolutised and the individual aspect is made subservient and is suppressed A multidimensional anthropology: The different aspects of humanness ought to be developed in a balanced way
14. 14. Community Atomistic-liberalistic: Individual freedoms and rights are given preference Destroys communality and eventually gives rise to totalitarianism Organistic-communalistic: Communal equality and duties get preference Individuality is destroyed; it gives rise directly to totalitarianism Individuality and communality are complementary facets of the multidimensional human being; both ought to be developed in order to develop individuals as well as the community Antitotalitarian Nature Is regarded anthropocentrically: Separated from man to be used and exploited for prosperity Is regarded holistically: Man is part of nature and for this reason nature must be respected and should not be interfered with Is regarded Biblically: Distinguishes man from nature, yet does not separate man from nature Ought to use and protect nature as a good steward Time and history A commodity to measure and use to your own advantage Future-oriented (progress) It is something to share and to enjoy with others Past-oriented (repristination) God-given gift to use and enjoy in a responsible way Past, present and future are equally important VIDAL: BL 16 23 & TABLE ON PG 18
15. 15. Ses komponente van n Morderne Westerse wreldbeskouing / Six components of a Modern Western worldview
16. 16. 1. Concept of God Aanvaar nie die konsep van God nie, maar daar is sekere geloofseienskappe : Die belofte van n beter toekoms (idea van redding). Word gelei na beter toekoms deur kundiges (priesters). Kundiges gee riglyne (norme) wat ons moet volg. Norme mag nie bevraagteken word nie (Absolute waarheid). Om hierdie norme uit te oefen, moet alle bose struikelblokke oorkom word. Materialistiese geloof. Rykdom. Bevordering.
17. 17. In n Tradisionele Afrika wereldbeskouing word mens gesien as onbeskaaf as jy nie die geeste erken nie. In n Moderne Westerse wereldbeskouing word mens gesien as onbeskaaf wanneer jy nie genoeg geld of materialistiese besittings het nie.
18. 18. 2. Normative Concepts Norme kom nie van God af nie, maar onstaan liewers uit situasies van kompetisie, bevordering, groei, ens. Die volgende konsepte is die norm in die Moderne Westerse wereldbeskouing: Hulle sien kompetisie" as standaard Daar kan goeie en slegte kompetisie wees, maar in die westerse denke, net goeie kompetisie.
19. 19. 3. View of Humanity Very reductionist view of man. Humans not multidimensional and only have an: Economic substance, or Individualistic existence or Rational-scientific nature, or Consumer (Needs must be met immediately)
20. 20. 4. View of society West's individualistic view of persons leads to an individualistic view of community life Individualism focuses firstly on individual freedom and equality; individuals are more important than the group [individual > group] Result is that social relationships such as family, marriage and government are regarded as artificial; human autonomy is more important than these relationships Individualism focuses all human activities on promoting the individual and his / her rights! There is an atomistic individualistic relationship between the individual and social groups
21. 21. 5. View of nature In the modern Western world view, nature is seen as something separate from humanity, as humanity's opponent. This view leads to the idea that nature must be conquered, used and even exploited for the benefit of humanity.
22. 22. 6. View of Time & History The Western concept of time is that time is a commodity ("Time is money") It is outside a person; a person must pass through it; one should use it and fill it It is abstract, independent of ordinary life; is measured and determined by a clock The implications of this view of time are: It reduces man to a slave of time; "rat-race" leads to strained relations and alienation amongst people Positive: Leads to planning and scheduling The view has both benefits (punctuality) and disadvantages (Westerners do not know to enjoy time)
23. 23. TIME IS MONEY: VIDEO CLIP
24. 24. Ses komponente van n Tradisionele Afrika wreldbeskouing / Six components of a Traditional African worldview
25. 25. 1. Concept of God A creator God (Supreme Being) who is at a distance and not interested in creation. Worldview is holistic; Creator is difficult to separate from physical and spiritual. Does not require worship and is only approached in cases of severe crisis. Replaced by unpredictable spirit world. Pre-Christian.
26. 26. 2. Normative Concepts Strong focus on society (in all of existence, religion, humanity, norms, time, etc). "Law of kinship" determines what is good and what is bad. Subjectivist in terms of group, not universal standards for all people (group egotism). Ubuntu.
27. 27. 3. View of Humanity Communal absolutised (compare with individual Western world view), so the social group is more important than the individual. One "becomes human" by belonging to community
28. 28. 4. View of Society Includes not only the living, but also the ancestors. Organistic-communalistic: Communal duties are central, individuality less important.
29. 29. 5. View of Nature Creator and creation are not distinguished (physical and spiritual world overlap). Natural holistic view: Humans are part of nature, therefore nature should be respected
30. 30. Time is something to share and enjoy with others (cannot be separated from social). Must make time for other members of group. Its not about quantity, but quality (have to wait for the right time for a specific purpose) 6. View of Time & History
31. 31. TRADITIONAL VS WESTERN VIDEO CLIP
32. 32. Six components of a Christian worldview / Ses komponente van n Christelike werldbeskouing
33. 33. 1. Konsep van God Die persoonlike God van die Bybel Die Skepper van die mens en die Aarde Onderhouer en Hoogste gesag
34. 34. 2. Normatiewe Konsepte Rigtinggewend & Struktureel God se wil wat in God se wette geopenbaar word, is in norme vir verskillende lewensareas gepositiviseer. Die Bybel
35. 35. 3. Beskouing van Die Mens Geskep in beeld van God Struktureel dieselfde as God, en die mens moet hom/haarself op God rig
36. 36. 4. Beskouing van Gemeenskap Individualiteit en kommunaliteit is komplementre fasette van die multi- dimensionele mens Beide moet ontwikkel word om die individu en die gemeenskap te onderhou
37. 37. 5. Beskouing van natuur Die mens word nie gesien as EEN met natuur, maar tog nie geskei daarvan nie. Rentmeesterskap Nie aanbidding Nie eksploitasie
38. 38. 6. Beskouing van Tyd & Geskiedenis Geskenk van God (moet op n verantwoordelike manier gebruik word en geniet word) Verlede, hede en toekoms is ewe belangrik
