<P> One can think of a worldview as comprising a number of basic beliefs which are philosophically equivalent to the axioms of the worldview considered as a logical theory . These basic beliefs cannot, by definition, be proven (in the logical sense) within the worldview precisely because they are axioms, and are typically argued from rather than argued for . However their coherence can be explored philosophically and logically . </P> <P> If two different worldviews have sufficient common beliefs it may be possible to have a constructive dialogue between them . </P> <P> On the other hand, if different worldviews are held to be basically incommensurate and irreconcilable, then the situation is one of cultural relativism and would therefore incur the standard criticisms from philosophical realists . Additionally, religious believers might not wish to see their beliefs relativized into something that is only "true for them". Subjective logic is a belief - reasoning formalism where beliefs explicitly are subjectively held by individuals but where a consensus between different worldviews can be achieved . </P> <P> A third alternative sees the worldview approach as only a methodological relativism, as a suspension judgment about the truth of various belief systems but not a declaration that there is no global truth . For instance, the religious philosopher Ninian Smart begins his Worldviews: Cross-cultural Explorations of Human Beliefs with "Exploring Religions and Analysing Worldviews" and argues for "the neutral, dispassionate study of different religious and secular systems--a process I call worldview analysis ." </P>
