ABSTRACT
According to Heidegger (1962), all human beings share certain existentials in common. One of them is that we always and already interpret to provide an account of entities as such, their kinds, and their behaviors. While our interpretations are often various and therefore lead us to not-always-reconcilable conclusions, we always and already interpret, and we codify our interpretations as sundry -isms. At some point, our -isms become hypotheses to guide further interpretations, and those interpretations test our hypotheses’ capacity to provide further accounts of entities as such, their kinds, and their behavior. In short, we could describe the process of interpreting, creating and testing our hypotheses as worlding. According to Pepper (1942), successful worlding creates world hypotheses which can, at least in principle, provide satisfactory accounts of all entities as such, their kinds, and their behavior.
