historicity
Historicity (historicity) is an ambiguous expression. " Historically " called
- something that was there at a certain past time ( really historical );
- to be content with merely ascertaining something past ( only historical );
- something past and still effective ( historically effective )
- a basic trait and the basic condition of the human in contrast to " natural", "natural" .
The following are named as originators of the concept of historicity as a specific human dimension:
- Giambattista Vico : Historicity as an established fact that all human reality has its history . The historicity of the world is recognized because man produced it.
- Hegel (occasionally, e.g. in his legal and world history),
- but above all Dilthey , for whom human life can only be understood in reference to the historicity of human existence.
Reflecting on historicity is the task of the philosophy of history and history didactics .
While the term in Jaspers still remains in the life-philosophy tradition in the sense of historical conditionality, it is decisively re-coined by Heidegger . "Historicity means the constitution of the" happening "of existence as such, on the basis of which something like" world history "is possible and historically belongs to world history." Since then, historicity has been a central concept in existential philosophy , phenomenology and hermeneutics ( Gadamer ).
While the historicity of Dilthey is related to the problem of historical relativism, it is hermeneutically (also) viewed as a means " to overcome historical relativism ( historicism )."
