4.3 there is an inbuilt hostility between authenticity and ethics

Somogy Varga (2011). Authenticity as an Ethical Ideal. Routledge


Authenticity has become a widespread ethical ideal that represents a way of dealing with normative gaps in contemporary life. This ideal suggests that one should be true to oneself and lead a life expressive of what one takes oneself to be. However, many contemporary thinkers have pointed out that the ideal of authenticity has increasingly turned into a kind of aestheticism and egoistic self-indulgence. In his book, Varga systematically constructs a critical concept of authenticity that takes into account the reciprocal shaping of capitalism and the ideal of authenticity. Drawing on different traditions in critical social theory, moral philosophy and phenomenology, Varga builds a concept of authenticity that can make intelligible various problematic and potentially exhausting practices of the self.

Varga addresses a topic that has been picking up steam in recent years, the concept of authenticity found in both popular culture and in scholarly discussions of the good life. It has been discussed recently by Charles Taylor (1991) and Allesandro Ferrara (1992), as well as by Bernard Williams (2002) and others, including myself (2004). As a rule, authenticity is seen as a matter of being true to oneself in one's avowals and actions. It assumes that each individual has distinctive feelings, desires and convictions that are of genuine importance to that individual, and that each person ought to express those self-defining attitudes in what he or she does. Doing this is regarded as "being faithful to what one is," and this is seen as a genuinely worthy way of being.

From its first appearance, this ideal of authenticity was found to be potentially at odds with the social norms accepted by the surrounding community. To be authentic, it seems, is to stand in opposition to the "ethical" as it is ordinarily understood. In our modern world, however, it is often supposed that being authentic is such a great good that it should trump the ethical. One should "be oneself" no matter how much this runs against the prevailing norms. And this means that there is an inbuilt hostility between authenticity and ethics, even in those cases where one in fact acts in agreement with social norms. For if one is always capable of breaking with those norms, one is in some sense already outside the ethical.
