The Ethics of Authenticity
Charles Taylor
Abstrak
In a discussion of ideas and ideologies from Nietzsche to Gail Sheehy, from Allan Bloom to Michel Foucault, the author sorts out the good from the harmful in the modern cultivation of an authentic self. He sets forth the entire network of thought and morals that link our quest for self-creation with our impulse toward self-fashioning, and shows how such efforts must be conducted against an existing set of rules, or a gridwork of moral measurement. Seen against this network, our modern preoccupations with expression, rights, and the subjectivity of human thought reveal themselves as assets, not liabilities.
