What does it mean to be authentic? Just how does one ‘keep it real’? Have ideals of authenticity been corrupted by an excessively individualistic Western culture? In this talk, Nietzsche’s “Become who you are” and Heidegger’s “people are inauthentic because they allow themselves to be moulded by the group”, will help us to explore our authenticity.
