Abstract
Man is not solely a constitutive reality but, at one and the same time, a reality which takes its form from the dynamism of life. Man, says Zubiri, is always the (“el”) same, but never the (“lo”) same.1 This statement has two parts: man is always the same being; man is never at the same stage of being. On the one hand, each man is a specifically determined essence, by virtue of which he is a man and this particular man and not any other: it is the “individuity” (individual-beingness) of the human being.2

The reader should bear in mind that this deals with the foundation of the configuration of substantive human reality, not with the foundation of substantive reality itself. At one and the same time, it deals too with the configuration of the being of man, since Zubiri distinguishes between reality (substantiveness) and being (the actuality of the substantiveness in the world). The “personality” is a form ffigura) of reality and, at the same time, of the being of a man.
