The worldview of The Wizard of Oz is either Postmodernism or Cosmic Humanism.
Postmodernism is a aetheistic, so therefore having no god, so maybe the wizard is the closest thing to god. It describes a state of being, and this has to do with the scarecrow, the lion and the tin man because they are all missing something and are searching for it. It also has to do with changing to certain conditions, and once again the condtions of the three characters.
Cosmic Humanism relates to Eastern mysticism, like the nice which of the East. Another part of Cosmic Humanism is unity with the divine, and the divine being the Wizard, and everyone is on a journey to be with him and be healed by him. There is no ultimate universal authority, so the closest thing to that is the Wizard. Nations should work to unite and form a community that encourages togetherness of all humankind, and maybe Dorthy is how the nations should be because she helps everyone get to the wizard.
