“…Selbstwelt is only accessible to me personally. As Ferencz‐Flatz () says, this threefold concept of world is, “according to most of its definitions, (…) merely meant as a type of inner‐worldly being” (p. 491). This means that although Heidegger does not say so directly, his illustrations of the three aspects of the world reveal that he has something like three different domains in mind—that of the natural, the interpersonal, and the personal.…”

This article traces the development of how the early Heidegger tried to integrate the structures of social life into phenomenological ontology. Firstly, I argue that Heidegger's analysis of the three elements of the lifeworld-the withworld (Mitwelt), the environing world (Umwelt), and the selfworld (Selbstwelt)-is ambiguous, because it shifts between defining sociality as a domain of entities and a mode of appearance. This is untenable because the social as a mode of appearance constantly overflows the definition as a domain by implicating social structures in phenomenological explications of entities that, formally, belong to other domains. Secondly, I argue that Heidegger realized this and subsequently changed his terminology from Mitwelt to Mitsein in order to avoid confusing the mode of appearance with the innerworldly entities. The systematic consequence of this line of argument is that the object of social ontology must be the world as such rather than a particular domain.
