Abstract

Anthropological formation is studied, in which the man “deals without Being”, i.e. his
constitution does not include the relation to Being or God. In synergic anthropology this is the
formation of the “Ontical man”, whose experience does not actualize the ontological difference
(the difference between Being and the essent). We start its description with the analysis of the
border domain between the Ontological and Ontical topics, where the Ontological Man performs
only defi ciently the ontological unlocking that should actualize the ontological difference.
The analysis exploits the heideggerian discourse of the concealed. We put to the forefront a
heideggerian conceptual personage of the man who exists in the concealed: the Lathon, one who
hides (in Greek), who locks himself from Being and merges Being and the essent completely. By
Heidegger, the constitution of the Lathon, however far his concealment goes, is always that of the
Ontological man since the latter is the only possible anthropological formation. But the position of synergic anthropology (as well as of modern anthropology in general) is different: it is fairly
possible that the relation of the Man to Being as basically different from the essent is eliminated
completely. We describe the actualization of such possibility as an event in anthropological
reality characterized by Plato’s notion to exaiphnes, “suddenly”. In this event the man acquires a
different constitution, and the Lathon becomes the Ontical man. Basic concepts of this formation
are introduced and its specifi c features are displayed.
