That means to explain to your reader things like…

1) The time he lived (e.g., turn of the 20th century)

2) The socio-historical context (e.g., the era of the world wars)

3) Where he lived and what sort of political, social, or philosophical atmosphere that entailed at that particular time.

4) Any significant historical events in which he participated

5) Any significant historical people with whom he interacted.

The main idea is just to make it clear to your reader not only the date, but the impact of that time period on his life and his accomplishments.
