To [some of the existentialist writers] man is a being who, in all his cognitive acts and efforts, can never reach a real world. His world is but a design, projected by himself, and mirroring the structure of his being. Just as the kaleidoscopic observation depends on how the little pieces of glass have been thrown, this kaleidoscopic epistemology presents a ‘world design’ (Weltentwurf) wholly dependent upon man’s ‘thrown-ness’ (Geworfenheit) a simple reflection of his subjective condition and structure.
