The paper is an attempt to reflect on the tension between the locality and the worldly thinking. The author deals with the problem of anthropology of things. How do we think about the local things? How do we experience the handy things? What is the worldly dimension of things? The author is interested in how the ideas of home and Heimat are related to the art of living. Nowadays our attention should be directed towards the local practices and the local experiences. In these spheres we find the understanding of human being. If we want to retrieve the knowledge about the art of living we should get to the root of the simplicity and the austerity of our experience.
