Knyazeva Maria Viktorovna

The following article analyzes the history of the term “worldview”, the current studies of this phenomenon and its place in Russian and foreign scientific studies. The article looks into the reasons of destructiveness and its types. The author draws the conclusion that modern worldview studies leave no space for such a term as “constructive worldview” and “destructive worldview”, despite he fact that both obviously coexist with the rest of the worldview types and are clearly actualized in the language. The author introduces the terms “constructive worldview” and “destructive worldview” and concludes that the latter is universal and its actualization does not depend on the language and also that it is mainly actualized via the core concepts which are EMOTION, FEELING, STATE and FEAR.
