The text explores the ontological and philosophical distinction between mere occurrences and actual history. The author argues that history, in the true sense of the word, began only when humans ceased to cling anxiously to the past and traditional experiences and instead dared to consciously face the future. A crucial element for the emergence of history is thus human consciousness and the courage to look directly at what is to come without paralyzing fear. The work criticizes the tendency to label cosmological, geological, or biological processes as history, as they lack the specifically human dimension of conscious agency. Such processes are classified as pseudo-events with a merely situational character. True historical events are distinguished by the nature of reactibility and the introduction of a higher-level order that does not stem from external circumstances but is actively brought into them. Consequently, history is seen as a space for creating a new order based on intentionality, freedom, and the transcendence of established natural patterns.
