Allowing surroundings to subsist is what turns environment into a lived world

Evidence

The animal allows the surroundings in which it lives to subsist, which transforms those surroundings already into a ‘world’: something unified, a space remade to suit. Accordingly the ‘habit’ of the animal already functions as a way of ‘inhabiting’ the world, and thus involves a particular relation to temporality. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 535
