In its most general sense, the term “world” refers to the totality of entities, to the whole of reality or to everything that is. The nature of the world has been conceptualized differently in different fields. Some conceptions see the world as unique while others talk of a “plurality of worlds”. In various contexts, the term “world” takes a more restricted meaning associated, for example, with the Earth and all life on it, with humanity as a whole or with an international or intercontinental scope. Different fields often work with quite different conceptions of the essential features associated with the term “world”.
