Review of 'The ethics of authenticity' on Goodreads

4 stars

A nice stop between Rorty and Carse, arguing for the ideal of self-defining originality and creativity that he sees behind the modern era, and defending it from the critiques of individualistic narcissism that capitalism in particular pushes it towards, through defining it in term of dialog and social expression.
