ABSTRACT
From unreflected generality to reflected generality Once upon a time there was a man. There he was once upon a time. He was since he is no more. He was, so he is because we know that ‘once upon a time there was a man’, and he will be as long as someone is going to tell his story. It is a human being who was there ‘once upon a time’, and only human beings can tell his story because only human beings know about ‘once upon a time’. ‘Once upon a time’ is the time of human beings. It is human time.
