Key points Argues that Husserl's Life-world (Lebenswelt) serves as a proto-datum grounding all genetically describable human acts, and that understanding its relation to Originality (Originalität) and Primordiality (Primordialität) requires a transcendental phenomenological analysis leading to an Ontology of the World in general, with the Natural World treated as a precondition for all theoretical classifications.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explain the relationship between Life-world (Lebenswelt) and the concepts of Originality (Originalität) and Primordiality (Primordialität) founded in Edmund Husserl’s philosophy developed in the 20’s. In order to achieve this goal, we need to begin with a transcendental phenomenological analysis to then gain access to Ontology of the World in general. Therefore, we must explain how Transcendental Philosophy relates to Transcendental Aesthetics and how it phenomenologically labels all that is outside of theory and reflection (i.e., the Natural World) as a precondition to all theoretical classifications. This way the Life-world could explain the relationship between the Originality and Primordiality as proto-datum that is the base of all human acts genetically describable.
