"Ways of Worldmaking"

"Ways of Worldmaking" is a philosophical concept introduced by Nelson Goodman that explores how humans construct and understand different worlds through language, art, science, and culture. It suggests that our perception of reality is shaped by the systems and symbols we use, rather than an objective, singular universe. Each "world" is a different framework or perspective created by our ways of knowing and expressing. This highlights the variability in human experience and understanding, emphasizing that reality is, to some extent, a product of the interpretive methods through which we engage with the world.
