another German question -- "world view"?

The thread on “Is there a German word for this” made me think of a question I was trying to answer in my head this weekend.

I seem to recall from school a word from German which is used to mean one’s outlook on the world, or world-view (we must have used it in literature or philosophy or theology class, but I sadly can’t recall). I think the word was “Weltanshaung” or something similar, but I want to be sure so I can use it correctly. I tried Babelfish, but that didn’t seem to work for me.

Am I remembering the word for “world view” correctly? Danke in advance.

You got it, but spelled it incorrectly. It should be
“Weltanschauung”.

Ah, wrong spelling. Maybe that’s why I had trouble before. Thanks!
