Autenticidade: entre socialização e embriaguez

Abstract

This article confronts different aspects from the authenticity concept. Ch. Taylor sees the authenticity as the construction of subjective originality that always implies a reference to social values and also investigates their cultural roots and its risks. His conceptual elaboration of the authenticity ideal includes expressionist shift, and its expansion to all social levels. The proposal is not the rejection of the ideal of selfrealization but to redeem their best promises. C. Menke, inspired by Nietzsche, thinks the artistic-existential creativity, thematising the esthetic concept of force, that points to pre-social sources of what is new. The complete well-being, for Menke, must combine as much inclusion in the social rules as energy of unsocial forces.
