| Summary: | This article discusses the ordinary, the existentialist, and the virtue-ethics senses of
the word ‘authenticity’. The term ‘authentic’ in ordinary usage suggests the idea
of being ‘original’ or ‘faithful to an original’, and its application implies being true
to what someone (or something) truly is. It is important to see, however, that
the philosopher who put this technical term on the map in existentialism, Martin
Heidegger, used the word to refer to the human capacity to be fully human, not to
being true to one’s unique inner nature. Authenticity might also be thought of as
a virtue, and interesting questions arise whether such a virtue should be regarded
primarily as a personal or as a social virtue |
