Lifeworld

Lifeworld is a concept from philosophy and social sciences that refers to the personal, everyday experiences and shared understanding through which we perceive and interpret our existence. It encompasses our immediate, lived reality—the context of our daily interactions, cultures, language, and surroundings—that shape how we make sense of the world. Essentially, the lifeworld is the backdrop of our consciousness, providing the meaningful background against which all our experiences occur, and it influences how we understand ourselves and others in our routine life.
