I think we're confusing definitions here. Everyone has one world view.
That worldview may radically change over time or expand to accomodate
conflicting elements (or elements that only seem to conflict) but it
seems to me that to pretend to have more than one worldview is to
pretend to be living more than one life. (Those who are schoolteachers
by day and hookers by night are exempt from the one-worldview-per-person
rule. We love you, Mary Kay.)
