worldview studies Explanation: Yikes! I don't know whether to put "I am guessing" (i.e., making this up) or "High" - because evidently many thousands of writers have used the phrase "worldview studies" - https://www.google.com/search?biw=864&bih=362&ei=kBZBXOnkPKP... Whether they mean the same thing Yuri Bokan means by it, I can't tell you. In any event, why not? What are you going to do with "витасофия"? I was going to tell you that "vitasophy" has a long history, going back at least to a 1902 book, but it turns out that that volume said that the "distinctive feature" of "vitasophy," a system of belief popular in the city of St. Louis, was "the eating of dirt on sand, for the stomach's sake"! Other sources have it as the study of certain types of magic. Evidently lots of Germans like to write articles about "Vitasophie," also chiefly in connection with magic. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2019-01-18 00:09:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Correction to citation: "dirt or sand." |
