ABSTRACT

When we say that in everyday life the ‘person’ directly reproduces himself and his world (his local world) and, indirectly, the social aggregate, the ‘wide world’, we are using concepts in a very loose and figurative fashion. So far, we have established the historicity of the concepts ‘person’ and ‘world’ (people, society) without trying to distinguish between the separate categories of this historicity. This is what we shall now try to do.
