Summary/Abstract: The study focuses, first, on Heidegger’s understanding of the world as a closed interconnection of “relationally” defined elements and as a horizon of ecstatic situatedness, and second, on the different ways of “inhabiting” and sharing the world in both the authentic and the inauthentic existence. It is divided into four parts. In the first part basic concepts of Being and Time are expounded that are essential for performing the research and for the clarity of its exposition. The second part is a detailed interpretation of Heidegger’s analysis of the surrounding world. The third part thematizes some concepts crucial to differentiate between authentic and inauthentic way of being-in-the-world. In the fourth and main part, an attempt is made to show that, first, the surrounding world, which is shared with others in its “meaningful” explication, is an “organically” articulated horizon of a “typical” and enduring ecstatic situatedness, and second, that both the authentic and the inauthentic existence are simultaneously different modes of the complete structure of existence and moments of this structure which belong to each other and “invert” one another.
