Life-World

The term "life-world" refers to the everyday, shared reality we experience through our perceptions, feelings, and interactions. It encompasses the routine activities, cultural norms, and social contexts that shape how we interpret and navigate the world around us. Essentially, it’s the world as we experience it directly—our personal and collective backdrop for understanding life. Recognized in philosophy and social sciences, the concept emphasizes that our sense of meaning and identity is rooted in this immediate, lived experience. It highlights how our perceptions and social environments influence our perception of reality.
