The article is philosophical consideration of problem of human presence in universe. The authors interpret this problem by horizons of historical concepts, values, ideas about social order, representations of nature and culture. This horizons is keypoints for analyses of methods of human placement in living space and habit of humanity. Human presence in the world reviewed by Aristotle’s doctrine of four causes of being of existence, which interpreted as four questions: “Why are we like this?”; “Why do we act?”; “How do we exist?”; and “What are we?”. Review of causality doing by explicate relation between humanity and nature space, which are a basement and source of culture. Question “Why do we act?” focuses attention on the value scale of society, a significant place on which is occupied by a set of ideas about the real and the possible, contained in life scenarios and strategies. The question of the specificity of the formal structure of the transformed present is connected with the analysis of the established social order, a significant tendency in the formation of which is urbanization. The fourth question refers to the study of the essence of the transformed present and leads us to reflections on the multiplication of reality or the formation of hyperreality.
