Abstract

The object of this article is to develop the concept of historicity in Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time, where a new way to approach the being, the time and history takes place. Alongside the reviewed paragraphs (72 to 74), the author dismisses how the historical phenomenon has been developed since Aris-totle because this paradigm is not capable of understanding the factum of Dasein being a historical entity by itself. Far from an overview where time is a succession of ‘contingencies’, where the present is the only reality and the being ‘is there’, for Heidegger Dasein’s temporality should be understood as a unity of the three tem-poral aspects. Finally, we shall review Hanna Arendt and Paul Ricoeur’s critics to the limits of Heidegger’s historicity.
