Has anyone ever attempted to categorize and explain all ideologies? By Ideology, I mean any "world view" or "system of beliefs". This would range from political views like Socialism or Feudalism to religious views like Christianity and Islam, to philosophical perspectives like Antinatalism, Empiricism, Rationalism, Nihilism and even include things like Scientific Materialism/Positivism and Satirical Worldviews like The Church of the Flying Spagehti Monster or Kekism.
A complete taxonomy, a categorization, a zoology of every ideological "beast" from Accelerationism to Aztec Blood Cults.
Does any book, or index or catalogue exist?
Obviously, no such zoology could exist outside of ideology itself. The views of the author(s) would invariably imprint onto the understanding of each animal. I suppose if I had to pick an ideal position from which to catalogue all ideologies, it would be some form of Skepticism that acknowledged any, all or none of the ideological animals could be "true", and attempts were made to capture each animal in both the terms that it understands itself, and the terms of it's critics.

essentially, I want to know all of my options.
I've believed enough different and contradictory things in my life, that on some level, I have to admit the possibility that I am misapprehending the world. That I am not seeing it as it truly is.
Maybe Aztecs had it right? Maybe the Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army has figured it all out? Maybe the truth is to be found in Hillary Clinton and liberal capitalism? Maybe /pol/ is right and the Jews and Bilderberg are conspiring against me with alien angels who built the pyramids? Mart Luther King Jr. seems like a pretty cool guy, but so does Malcom X and original Martin Luther.
My point is, how could you know you were right until you knew all the options?

Wikipedia is a very useful resource, but it isn't easy to navigate. Not only that, but I'm not concerned about butterfly taxonomy or who won the 1956 olympic gold medal in pole vaulting, or the number of bridges in montana.
Too much irrelevant material in wikipedia.
Surely some philosopher has, at some point, tried to categorize all belief systems? I suppose such a task would go out of date quite quickly, but it'd be a starting point.

This has my interest as well. I only know of a tree of all regions.

Ideologie is not Weltanschauung.

>Weltanschauung.
sure, within a particular philosophy, things like religion, politics or worldview are differentiated in categories.
I want the broadest sense of these terms: philosophy, agenda, world view, ideology, belief system.

I honestly disagree, and besides - in this case at least - I don't think you can claim a single definition as right.

I feel like this chart is a real cop-out when it comes to contemporary religions. Scientology sure has influences (and given Scientific Method is on this chart, I'd have connected them, given scientology trading in psuedoscience-psychiatry/chemistry).
Still, it's a neat resource.

Considering the gigantic swathe of ideology represented by religion, and also considering the countless variations upon a single theme within major religions, I think that task would be too formidable for a single "bestiary".
