An examination of the concept and role of ’world’ in Heidegger and in analytic philosophy. My basic claim is that the notion of world is as motley and varied in analytic philosophy as it is in everyday language. This by itself makes any comparison between Heidegger and analytic philosophy on the notion of world more than a little fraught. More than that, if one looks at particular cases in analytic philosophy (Putnam, McDowell, Sider, Lewis, Goodman), whatever Heidegger is after with the notion of world does not align with – and in some cases diverges massively – from how the notion is deployed in analytic philosophy. This should make us cautious about trying to attribute theses couched in the language of analytic philosophy (e.g. the internalism-externalism) debate to Heidegger. To the extent that comparisons can be made, they primarily illustrate the ways in which, from Heidegger’s perspective, analytic philosophy fails to recognize the questions and problems that motivate his philosophy
