This text examines the essence of history and the definition of the human as a historical being. The author argues that history is characterized by subjective mediation, where conscious reflection distinguishes historical events from non-historical occurrences. The transition to historicity was a gradual process that established the historical human, who exists in a reciprocal relationship with the historical world. History possesses an inherent meaning that exceeds human ownership. The analysis highlights that historical periodization should be based on "inner events"—intellectual, moral, or existential shifts—rather than merely objective milestones. Of paramount importance is the encounter with truth, which addresses individuals and prompts a transformation of consciousness (metanoia). This internal change enables truth to act within the historical process. Ultimately, the document defines history in its deepest sense as the process of truth addressing, convincing, and triumphing through human subjectivity.
