Abstract
This paper interprets "weltanschauung" to be an intellectual construction, which brings a unified solution of all the problems of existence by virtue of a comprehensive hypothesis, a construction where in no question is left open therefore one feels secure in life. The author explains that the political philosophy of "juche", which has become the official autarkic state ideology of the Republic of Korea, is "weltanschauung", a world view that indicates or brings about the penultimate value of the goals of mankind. The paper relates that, as per the "juche" ideology, man has the final regulation or control over the world and his own destiny, particularly because it is only he who possess the chajusong, which upholds creativity or consciousness.
From the Paper
"Etymologically, the German word Weltanschauung is elementary to the German philosophy and epistemology implying a wide world perception. It normally indicates the structure which facilitates individual interpretation of the world and interaction. The adoption of concept of Weltanschauung in cognitive philosophy and generative science indicates the wide worldview or wide world perception of a people that they come across over several millennia. Its application in sphere of the language of the people implies the Weltanschauung of that people in the form of its syntactic structures and untranslatable connotations and their denotations."

Abstract
This paper explains that Sigmund Freud defined his concept of Weltanschauung as an intellectual construction which gives a unified solution of all the problems of our existence in which no question is left open and in which everything has its place. The author points out that, as a scientist and a feminist, Evelyn Fox Keller, known for her work in history, sociology and the philosophy of the inter-relationship of science and gender, is neither too easy on the male-dominated scientific establishment nor is she calling for a "feminist science" of a different order from the current and classical prevailing form. This paper relates that Keller is calling not for a different science but for a science that recognizes the value of differences in approach and cognition, a gender-free science, a truly scientific Weltanschauung.
From the Paper
"For example, Keller acknowledges that more and more women have been going into scientific careers, but until recently, most have been in the soft sciences, not the hard sciences such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology. She notes that even these characterizations as "hard" and "soft" revel a sexist, masculine bias in the way people think about science--an attitude that is hardly objective and scientific. She even mentions that her five-year-old son stated that "science is for men." What better proof of the pervasiveness of the genderization of science than when your own child says that to his mother, who is a mathematical biophysicist who has done groundbreaking research in some of the "hardest" areas of quantitative scientific research?"
