Will, Being-in-the-World, Perspectivism

'Perspectivism' is a theory that can accommodate the experiential structure 'being-in-the-world', though it is unclear if Heidegger would accept the classification. For, a perspective is a uniquely personal locus of experience within a larger transpersonal arena. One main difficulty for Perspectivism is to ground the positing of a larger arena on the given inner locus. The model of Experience presented here offers such a ground--Will, as the principle of Excession, is the process of transcending the given, and, hence, is the origin of the possibility of a realm beyond what one perceives at any given moment. Thus, at least one coherent concept of being-in-the-world entails Will.
