Paper Abstract:      This essay introduces an ontological discussion of cyberspace. Challenging the objective, subjective and relational perspectives of spaces and place, the Heideggerian precognitive approach contends that “lived spaces” are constituted by an individual’s purpose, objectives and aspirations. An existential analysis is carried out to show how a different kind of spatialization is achieved by human beings in cyberspace (“cyber-spatiality”) and how it affects the way they disclose themselves online. Heidegger’s ground-breaking perspective proves itself useful to provide a deeper understanding of the way consumers experience online space.
