N2 - The article is a review of the monograph by A. A. Lvov “From Language to the World: The Philosophical Nature of Worldview”, published by Vladimir Dal Publishing House in 2024 and shortlisted for the 2025 Eurasian Philosophical Prize in the “Young Talents in Philosophy” nomination. The article examines the main provisions of this book. It analyzes the position of the author, who proposes to consider the worldview in two main perspectives: firstly, he seeks to clarify the meaning of “worldview” as a concept (and even a “metaconcept”), and secondly, he substantiates the idea that conceptual analysis makes it possible to fruitfully discuss the features of understanding the worldview in the context of specific philosophical and linguistic cultures. In this regard, we can say that the worldview is becoming a subject of anthropological reflection. This expresses the novelty and relevance in the interpretation of the worldview, previously considered by a number of domestic and foreign researchers in the ontological, epistemological, pedagogical, theological key. The central thesis of the monograph, which the author presents as the goal of the entire study, is discussed—the thesis that the worldview can be presented as a human adaptation to the world within the framework of cultural evolution. The historical and philosophical tool developed by the author, the “constellation of world view”, is verified, allowing us to discover the semantic and pragmatic kinship of the Hellenistic concept αἵρεσις with the German “Weltanschauung” and the Russian “mirovozrenie”. This model of conceptual interpretation of worldview proves to be effective: despite the widespread opinion that worldview appears only in the era when the term itself begins to be used, the author convincingly shows that worldview acts as a metaconcept, i.e. as a meaning-generating system underlying the process of human self-understanding. © И.
