Will and World

Heidegger's notion 'being-in-the-world' implies the existence of a unique transpersonal world. In contrast, here, 'world' can be defined as 'the totality of encounterable objects', i. e. as 'the totality of objects to Will'. So, since, Will is one's own, the world which correlates to it is, likewise, one's own, i. e. there are a plurality of worlds. Accordingly, as Heidegger progressively discovers that the horizon of Experience is 'one's own possibility', he seems to fail to appreciate that the status of 'the' world becomes increasingly problematic.
