Title: In search of authenticity
First published: 1995
Description: Personal authenticity is out of fashion amongst analytic philosophers. Yet, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre and Camus were clearly preoccupied by its theoretical and practical viability. In this study, Jacob Golomb illuminates the writings of these philosophers in an attempt to explain their particular ethical stance on the subject. This book will prove invaluable reading for students and teachers of philosophy, literature and education and indeed for anyone who has ever empathized with Camus's Meursault, Sartre's Matthieu or Nietzsche's Zarathustra.
Subjects: Existential ethics, Authenticity (Philosophy), Ethics, Existentialism, Authenticité (Philosophie), Morale existentielle, SELF-HELP, Personal Growth, Happiness, Authenticiteit, Existentiefilosofie
