Abstract
In existential philosophy, the problem of everydayness is considered a serious challenge. In events of everyday life, in routines of human activity there is a danger, which a philosopher, analyzing existence can rarely manage. Why is that? I consider the answer to this question of high relevance. It is in everydayness that the whole world of man, with his culture, activities, phenomena, material and intentional events is enclosed. Many philosophers of culture pointed to everydayness as the source of knowledge about man. Many have also emphasized, that only in everydayness man’s be truly revealed. An analysis of this phenomenon should than be considered our first and fundamental task.
