Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the concept of lifeworld (German: Lebenswelt) is expounded by focusing on the Husserlian notions that preceded it. The translatability of the term is discussed by arguing for preserving the original German word. It is argued that Lebenswelt holds an essential place among Husserl’s and other phenomenological concepts. The influence of this concept on the development of philosophy is also discussed.
