Description
Charles Guignon's exploration of authenticity is a thought-provoking journey into the self. He examines why being authentic has become an ultimate aim for many, and how this concept has evolved over time.
The author considers the shift from seeing authenticity as part of a larger cosmic picture to a stronger inward focus, and reflects on the darker aspects of this idea with reference to key thinkers such as Freud and Alice Miller. Guignon ultimately argues that being authentic is about our fundamental social nature and our dependence on others.
