BECOMING VERSUS HISTORICITY IN CONSTANTIN NOICA'S PHILOSOPHY

The concept of historicity, interpreted in terms of becoming within being is based on the concept of the historical being. The continuous, permanent action, the amendment and shaping of the social environment, the self-reformation, these are all peculiar to man, as a historical being. Although in his early writings Noica ruled out history and the historical knowledge, pleading for the necessity of a geometrical type of culture, in the spirit of mathesis universalis, he does not leave entirely aside neither the historical spirit nor the history's role in stimulating knowledge all together. Later on he would integrate this type of becoming into the concept of becoming within being.
