Abstract This paper examines the concept of world elaborated by Heidegger in early Freiburg lecture courses years 1919 to 1923, which he proposes a renewed conception phenomenology through comparison with Husserlian phenomenology. First, I show that although theme lifeworld became central only late works, especially The Crisis European Sciences , Husserl began deal this before 1920, anticipating some fundamental issues as it results from lectures on Natur und Geist . had addressed already 1910/11, Basic Problems Phenomenology and, subsequently, second book Ideas was published posthumously, but known young Heidegger. Then, discuss way revisited issue means critique Husserl’s analysis, focusing perceptual experience “environmental experience” and “world-character” life. Particular emphasis is placed distinction between “environing-world,” “with-world,” “self-world,” introduces 1919–1920. Finally, point out Heideggerian rethinking closely connected recognition immanent historicity life, while later takes into account lifeworld.
