Word that means way of thinking

Is there a word that means «a way of thought»?

For example, whether someone is interested or not, it is simply how he thinks. Whether someone is confident or not, it is simply how he thinks. So «interest» and «confidence» are simply «ways of thinking».

I was thinking of the word «mental», however «mental» means «relating to the mind» which is too broad. For example, «tiredness» would be «relating to the mind», but it isn’t a «way of thought».

What’s another word to mean «a way of thought»?

Would «mindset» fit the bill, or is that too passive a concept?

I think you are looking for words like ‘opinion’, ‘perspective’, ‘conception’, ‘assumption’, ‘presumption’, inference’, ‘point-of-view’ etc.

Weltanschauung is a germanic word with an English usage that correlates to this. It translates literally to «world view» but, as M-W defines, means «a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint.»

That may be too broad for what you are looking for. You could also try «solipsistic» «characteristic» or «idiosyncratic.»

The phrase «state of mind» describes what you’re after.

psycho-paths ;-) Just Kidding… I second the suggestion of using idiosyncratic. It suits your specifications considerably well.

I think another possibility is “attitude”, but most of the previous answers look good to me.

Mentality is defined as: a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations; the characteristic attitude of mind or way of thinking of a person or group; cast or turn of mind; a way of thinking; mental inclination or character.

You can say someone has, for example, a confident mentality or a victim mentality.

I’ve heard the use of adjective mind before.

To an Eastern mind, raised on Go, territory is more important than the soldiers used to capture it.

To those Western minds raised on Chess, protecting the nobles is the most important.
