I *cannot* (even when I try) take 'Welt' seriously  philosophically. Let 
alone 'world'. It's such a, as Cicero would have it, a  _virile_ concept.

Cfr. werewolf.

The world is the vir- something:  the _human_ experience at its _worst_!

mundus is bad enough. Kosmos at  least gives "Joan Rivers" ('cosmetic 
surgery').

And then Witters _would_ say obscure meant to be meant as 'profound' things 
 like "Die Welt is the Totalitaet der Sachverholden". (The world is the 
totality  of _things_ -- plus one).
