The relationship between the world and human consciousness has been contemplated through many different lenses. In the phenomenological school, this relationship is considered based on the pure ego’s construction. For this reason, ever since Husserl initiated phenomenology, it has been believed that the world depends on the structure of human consciousness. However, phenomenology has encountered significant problems. If the world is solely dependent on one person's consciousness, has the world been fully conceived as it truly is, since another person is also conscious of the world? Certainly, the world must be 'added' with 'many more instances of consciousness.' Even though Husserl later re-conceptualized the world through the notion of Lebenswelt (the lived world) to restore the world’s original and autonomous nature, according to Claude Romano, this concept is still inadequate. Therefore, Romano reconceptualized the world through a holistic lens, hoping to fully contemplate the world as much as possible, so that the relationship between the world and human consciousness might finally be adequately determined.
