Concept information

Preferred term

life-world  

Definition(s)

  • A direct translation of the German Lebenswelt, this term is used by social phenomenologists such as Alfred Schutz to denote the everyday material and social world that ordinary people construct in the course of their routine interactions. The life-world is taken for granted; it usually only becomes noticeable when it is challenged. [Source: The SAGE Dictionary of Sociology; Life-World]
