Authenticity is a concept in psychology, existential psychiatry, existentialist philosophy and aesthetics. In existentialism, authenticity is the degree to which a person ’ s actions are congruent with his or her beliefs and desires, despite external pressures to conformity. The conscious Self comes to terms with the condition of Geworfenheit, of having been thrown into an absurd world (without values or meaning) not of his or her own making, thereby encountering external forces and influences different from and other than the Self.Authenticity (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) In human relations, a person’s lack of authenticity is considered bad faith in dealing with other people and with one's self; thus, authenticity is the instruction of the Oracle of Delphi: “Know thyself.”J. Childers/G. Hentzi eds., The Columbia Dictionary of Modern Literary and Cultural Criticism (1995) p. 103 Concerning authenticity in art, the European philosophers Jean Paul Sartre and Theodor Adorno held opposing views and opinions about jazz, a genre of American music; Sartre said jazz is authentic and Adorno said jazz is inauthentic. The subcultures of punk rock and Heavy metal music require artistic authenticity, lest a musician be labelled poseur for his or her perceived lack of authenticity (creative, musical, personal); My Dark Places April 10th, 2006 by Godfre Leung (Domino, 2006). likewise, artistic authenticity is integral to the genres of House music, Grunge, and Garage rock, Hip-hop, Techno, and show tunes.Barker, Hugh and Taylor, Yuval. Faking it: The Quest for Authenticity in Popular Music. W.W.Norton and Co., New York, 2007. In every realm of human activity, authenticity extends the instructions of the Oracle: “Don’t merely know thyself — be thyself.” History In the 18th century, Romantic philosophers recommended intuition, emotion, and a connection to Nature as the necessary counterbalances to the intellectualism of the Age of Enlightenment. In the 20th century, Anglo–American preoccupations with authenticity centre upon the writings of existentialist philosophers whose native tongue is not English; therefore, the faithful, true, and accurate translation of the term existentialism was much debated, to which end the philosopher Walter Kaufmann assembled the canon of existentialist philosophers, which includes the Dane Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), the German Martin Heidegger (1889–1976), and the Frenchman Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980), for whom the conscious Self comes to terms with existence (being and living) in an absurd, materialist world featuring external forces, e.g. Geworfenheit (Thrown-ness), and intellectual influences different from and other than the Self. Therefore, personal authenticity is in how a man or a woman acts and changes in response to the influences of the external world upon the Self. Among artists, authenticity in art describes a work of art that is faithful to the values of the artist.“Authenticity and Art”, A Companion to Aesthetics (2009) p.000. In the field of psychology, authenticity identifies a person living life in accordance with his or her true Self, personal values, rather than according to the external demands of society, such as social conventions, kinship, and duty.Wood, A.
