abstract
Talking about our world is not as self-evident as it seems to be. Although we are used to talk about world coming from a common sense, it is neither objectively given nor referable to me in a given sense. And at the same time, every self needs ‘the world’ to refer to as a ground suggesting security to develop it – and themselves. This paper tries to develop boundaries arising from our world-relatability in some dimensions and possible dangers arising from this phenomenon itself. By doing that, the aim is to requestion our concrete solving with ‘the world’, which is – at least – a coexistence between people making experiences for themselves and at the same time in relation with each other. Stressing the In-Between of the world itself, our reference to it and the development of this ‘thing’, we perceive as world, and striking out, how decolonial practices are combined with our perception and dealing with ‘the world’, this ethical development of ‘our world’ opens the space to find a new relation between us and our behaviour with ‘the world’. In the end, it opens the dialogue about creating our territories according to our phenomenal involvement with each other and ‘the world’. As such it is a possible but not final answer to our responsibility for our concrete reality including the other and the world dealing with actions taking place beyond dualistic spheres.
