[edit] lifeworld and Habermas

The sense of lifeworld in this article is basically Habermasian, which, I think, is appropriate, since he's the outstanding philosopher who has done most with the originally-Heideggerian/Husserlian notion. The external link, "lifeworld and Habermas," is a reliable contextualization of Habermas' sense of lifeworld. I've been a "student" of Habermas' work for several decades, including time spent with him while he was writing the German version of Theory of Communicative Action. I'm disappointed that betacommand thought (March 21, 2007) that linking to the scholarly Habermas discussion group was inappropriate. Gedavis 21:24, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

The concept of "lifeword" existed before Husserl.

[edit] 'lifeworld' is late Husserlian

I've changed the indication of Cartestian Meditations because the notion of lifeworld (translation of 'Lebenswelt') comes from Husserl's Krisis... lectures, not CM. Though Dilthey had a notion of life experience, the specific notion of lifeworld refers to a Husserlian concept that Husserl didn't coin until the Krisis lectures. Gedavis 00:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
