The following table is a loose comparison of different ways to see the world. These changes in world view represent a revolution in the way we think. All revolutions are chaotic and complex and it takes time to sort out the new order. It takes time to see if the new view of the world can be successfully translated into reality and sustained on an everyday level. We see these changes reflected in the new theoretical writings and practices in a range of different disciplines.
Example are literary deconstructionism, holistic medicine and 'new age' psychology.
Likewise, educational theory and practice are changing. Recent research into brain function and learning processes has implications for how we view learning. This is examined in detail in the learning theories section. We can't make these changes in world view simple by denying the complexity. But we can find ways both to see the new whole and break this down into parts with which we can work.
