Abstract

There are many and varied understandings of human nature, each depending on a particular perspective. This also explains why all humans are deeply social by nature. Human groups maintain a high level of sociality despite a low level of relatedness among group members. The lifeworld is the grand theatre of objects variously arranged in space and time relative to perceiving subjects and also is the ground for all shared human experiences. Although, individuals exist in their environment, society (the world) also exists in the individual himself and could not exist at all, apart from the real activity of its members. Drawing from philosophical insights, human beings in their different situations manipulate their possible being; every human action and cognition is an effort after meaning and no matter how bizarre the actions of individuals are, they are determined and governed by worldviews and influences. The human character of philosophy shows that philosophy is a man-centred existential relation of manifestation. Hence, it cannot be wrong to infer that sociality and environ-mentality is the authentic grounding of the lifeworld.
