The first aim is to provide well-articulated concepts by thinking through elementary phenomena
of today's world focusing on privacy and the digital to clarify who we are in the cyberworld
? hence a phenomenology of digital whoness. The second aim is to engage critically
hermeneutically with older and current literature on privacy including in today's emerging
cyberworld. Phenomenological results include concepts of i) self-identity through interplay
with the world ii) personal privacy in contradistinction to the privacy of private property
iii) the cyberworld as an artificial digital dimension in order to discuss iv) what freedom in
the cyberworld can mean whilst not neglecting v) intercultural aspects and vi) the EU context.
