ABSTRACT
This chapter takes us to the subject, the lebenswelt, or life-world, which was one of Husserl's most important concepts. If one want to see the world more the way it is they need a radical change of attitude, where turn from 'the realm of the objectified meaning as found in the sciences to the realm of meaning as immediately experienced in the lebenswelt or "life-world"'. Moving from the natural (scientific) attitude to more of a phenomenological attitude we see this life-world. This notion of the life-world is very relevant to the 'seeing' of meaning-full disease. The life-world is the real, experienced, lived-in world. It is a much richer world than that of mere objects, or that defined by the objective existence of things. But the reality of meaning-full disease suggests that opening our eyes may lead to unforeseen benefits well worth transient discomforts and disequilibrium.
