Sommario/riassunto

Simon Feldman explores how the concept of authenticity has become an unrealistic ideal founded on metaphysically confused notions of the self. In Against Authenticity, Feldman argues for the validity and value of in-authenticity in our lives, providing an exciting challenge for studies of ethics, meta ethics, metaphysics, and moral psychology.
