The author tries to define the structure of man’s historicity and its particular elements. The basic elements of this historicity are for him: the possibility to became a person, the dimension of existence as an act of realization and secondary acts, as well as the mixture of passiveness and activeness. The secondary elements are: the rootedness in the world of beings, use of time and space as the basis, and the final limitations of man. History is possible mainly owing to the transitiveness of all the spheres inslide the personal being. The same applies to the social history, which is history in a more proper sense. Generally, historicity is defined as the whole process of a man becoming a person, owing to the dimension of existence, through the fulfilment of oneself in self-realization with the positive vector.
