Streszczenie The article aims to understand worldview polarization. This goal results from two assumptions. Firstly, there is a need to supplement the definition of social polarization by considering the philosophical understanding of worldview. Worldview polarization will be understood more broadly than social polarization because it concerns questions about the meaning of life and values that determine an individual actions and evaluation, and secondly, from the fact that the algorithmic architecture of the Internet may favour worldview polarization. Personalization consolidates the content available to users and the users themselves into imagined communities. The article characterizes worldview polarization in the context of three issues: polarizing conflict, community and personalization. Polarizing conflict is the key to understanding social polarization. The community is a reference for philosophical approaches to worldview and worldview polarization. Personalization illustrates the possible manifestation of technological determinism in human communication. The article presents the difference between social and political polarization and ideological polarization. The concept of worldview polarization was based on the philosophical concepts of worldview as presented by Charles Taylor, Wilhelm Dilthey, and Karl Jaspers.
