Somogy Varga

Authenticity as an Ethical Ideal (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Authenticity has become a widespread ethical ideal, but this ideal has increasingly turned into aestheticism and self-indulgence. In his book, Varga constructs a critical concept of authenticity. Drawing on traditions in critical social theory, moral philosophy, and phenomenology, Varga makes the problematic practices of self-aestheticism and atomist self-indulgence intelligible.
