In the era of globalisation's transformation of socio-cultural standards, the worldview philosophy serves as the basis for their revision and implementation of appropriate changes. Particularly, the requirement to ensure the norms of cultural diversity restores the need to refer to a worldview category in the scientific and public discourse.
The research goal of this article is to provide an appropriate justification of the philosophy of worldview as the basis of world perception and socio-cultural traditions. Namely, the paper addresses the following questions: (1) What is the broader context for the Eastern European levelled description model of worldview? (2) Is the explanation of the world perception as a subset of worldview relevant? (3) What are the conjunctures of socio-cultural tradition and world perception at the level of worldview? (4) Is the tradition change possible as a result of changing the sum of the worldviews of actors?
The methodology is based on an iterative progression of analytical and synthetic methods. The review of publications served as basis for testing the theoretical model to encapsulate the interaction between the actor and the cultural context.
The results organise the connectors between the worldview and world perception in the socio-cultural dimension. The level model of worldview needs to be revised and empirically tested, but it provides auxiliary constructs for the operationalisation. The changes in worldview that are implemented at different levels have a different normative value.
Implications of the presented research are contained in the dimension of cultural hybridization, which leads to the formation of new worldview schemes, and socially desirable outcomes, through changes in the world perception of actors. The spread of the Eastern European level model will contribute to a shift away from the Western-centred methodology and will also provide the necessary tools for a revision of traditional practices.
