Authenticity As An Ethical Ideal
Synopsis
Authenticity has become a widespread ethical ideal. It represents a way of dealing with normative gaps in this age. It suggests that one should be true to oneself and lead a life expressive of what one takes oneself to be. However, many contemporary thinkers have pointed out that the ideal of authenticity has increasingly turned into aestheticism and egoistic self-indulgence. In his book, Varga's systematic, detailed attempt to construct a critical concept of authenticity takes into account the reciprocal shaping of capitalism and the ideal of authenticity. Drawing on different traditions in critical social theory, moral philosophy and phenomenology, Varga constructs a concept of authenticity that can make problematic practices of self-aestheticism and atomist self-indulgence intelligible.
