facticity /fækˈtɪsɪti/ noun3 •The quality or state of being a fact. •A fact that is not changeable or that is assumed to be true without further evaluation. •In existentialism, the state of being in the world without any knowable reason for such existence, or of being in a particular state of affairs which one has no control over.[Martin] Heidegger replaces spirit—the principle of subjectivity—with the principle of facticity, which binds the activity of philosophizing to factical life, that is to say, to Dasein. — 2003 formsfacticities
