Addressing the post-enlightenment problems of meaning and freedom,
Kyle Michael James Shuttleworth traces the historical development
of the ethics of authenticity in a lucid and vigorous study. The
emergence of authenticity as an ethical ideal is probed in relation
to the rise of social freedom and individualism which opens up
conversations and disagreements with the German Idealists, and
later, Habermas, Foucault, and MacIntyre. Taking heed of these
intellectual predecessors and proponents of ethical authenticity
leads to an original conception of a socio-existential account of
ethical authenticity, made possible by the work of both Taylor and
Sartre. Moving beyond virtue ethics, discourse ethics and
Foucauldian notions of self-care, The History and Ethics of
Authenticity constructs a practical ethics of authenticity that is
both embedded in and able to transcend the current moment. Making
use of contemporary reference points, including the rise of social
media, capitalist branding, and competing appeals to identity,
authenticity becomes an achievable ethical ideal.
