This text presents a philosophical reflection on the fundamental nature of human existence and its relationship to the universe. The author questions whether the world as a whole is oriented in a specific way and whether such orientation carries a discernible meaning. A significant part of the inquiry involves exploring the multiplicity of meanings, with the author asking whether there are several mutually incompatible interpretations of reality. A key theme is the determination of the human place within this ordered whole. The human being is not defined here as a stable entity, but rather as a being on the threshold—as a "newcomer" or a guest. This concept of "dwelling" emphasizes the temporality and lack of fixed rootedness in human presence. The note touches upon deep ontological themes, challenging traditional perceptions of the subject and replacing them with a metaphor of being a visitor in a space that transcends us. Overall, it is a dense outline of a phenomenological investigation of the world as an oriented space, where human being acquires meaning through its openness and awareness of its own transience within the broader order of reality.

[Orientovanost světa – 2]
(přepis starší poznámky – datum neznámo)
Je svět „orientován“?
Dává ta orientace „smysl“?
Je těch „smyslů“ více a jsou navzájem neslučitelné resp. inkompatibilní?
Jaké místo máme(e) v tomto orientovaném světě?
Být příchozí: být na prahu.
Být hostem, návštěvou, „pobýváním“.
