*Date: [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/1945 1945]
==Definition==
1 : the [[quality]] or [[state]] of being a [[fact]]
==Description==
'''Facticity''' (French: facticité, German: Faktizität) has a multiplicity of [[meanings]] from "factuality" and "[[contingency]]" to the intractable conditions of [[human]] [[existence]].
The term is first used by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichte Fichte] and has a [[variety]] of [[meanings]]. It can refer to [[facts]] and factuality, as in nineteenth-century [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positivism positivism], but comes to mean that which resists explanation and [[interpretation]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilthey Dilthey] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Kantianism Neo-Kantianism]. The Neo-Kantians contrasted facticity with ideality, as does [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_Habermas Jürgen Habermas] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Between_Facts_and_Norms Between Facts and Norms] (Faktizität und Geltung). It is a term that takes on a more specialized [[meaning]] in 20th century [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_philosophy continental philosophy], especially in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy) phenomenology] and [[existentialism]].
