Whether in art or literature, education or psychology, mathematics or science, every theory or movement is inspired by an underlying philosophy.
Worldviews do not come with a warning label attached. They do not ask permission before invading our minds. Instead there is what Nancy Pearcey would call a “stealth” secularism that uses images and stories to bypass people’s critical grid and hook them emotionally, sometimes without them even knowing it. That is why it is imperative to learn the skill of deciphering worldview when they come to us not in words, where they are easier to recognize, but in the idiom of picture, composition, plot line, and characterization.
