Even before our world view guides us to discriminate between good and evil, it disposes us to discriminate between real and unreal, true and false, meaningful and meaningless. Before we act in the world, we must conceive of a world; it must be there before us, a sensible pattern to which we adapt our conduct.
“We enter a searching discussion of moral action only when we press beyond the surface style of conduct in which men express their ethical sensibilities and seek the hidden source from which their actions flow….Even so there lurks behind our socially centered morality some primordial world view which dictates what reality is, and what, within that reality, is to be held sacred.
