Document Summary

Everyday life is presented as a reality that is interpreted by men and subjectively meaningful to them as a coherent world. We cannot ignore the fact that the foundations of reality is subjective and dependent on the subjects. Phenomenological analysis: the subjective experience of everyday life: no causal or genetic hypotheses. Whether you or looking at something or thinking about something, it is intentional. It has an impact on your consciousness at every moment. Life is an ordered reality in the sense objects are designated as objects before we arrive on the scene. A lamp is a lamp before we reach it. This is thanks to the technical vocabulary of society and a web of human relationships. Everyday life is experienced through not only the here and now, but factors that are not present in the current environment as well. There is the zone of everyday life that is accessible to bodily manipulation.
