Edmund Husserl on World - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 251 World/Husserl/Gadamer: It is a fundamentally anonymous intentionality, i.e. one that is no longer performed by anyone by name, through which the all-encompassing world horizon is constituted. Husserl, in conscious counter formation against a concept of world that encompasses the universe of that which can be objectified by the sciences, calls this phenomenological concept of world "the lifeworld", i.e. the world into which we live in the natural attitude, which does not as such ever become representational for us, but which represents the given ground of all experience. >Lifeworld/Husserl. Structure of experience: Certainly one can ask about the structure of what comprises all environments ever experienced by humans and thus is the worldly experience par excellence, and in this sense one can certainly speak of an ontology of the world. Such an ontology of the world would still remain something quite different from what the natural sciences - thought of in completion - would achieve. It represented a philosophical task that made the structure of the world's essence the object of its study. Lifeworld/Husserl/Gadamer: But with the lifeworld something else is meant, the whole into which we live as historically living beings._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
