Great philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Sartre have clearly been preoccupied by the possibility of authenticity. In this study, Jacob Golomb looks closely at the literature and writings of these philosophers in his analysis of their ethics. Golomb's writing shows his passionate commitment to the quest for the authenticity - particularly in our climate of post-modern scepticism. He argues that existentialism is all the more pertinent and relevant today when set against the general disillusionment which characterises the late 20th century.

AUTHENTICITY AS SEEN BY VARIOUS EXISTENTIALISTS,
By
This review is from: In Search of Authenticity: Existentialism from Kierkegaard to Camus (Problems of Modern European Thought) (Paperback)
Jacob Golomb
In Search of Authenticity: From Kierkegaard to Camus (New York: Routledge, 1995) 219 pages (ISBN: 0-415-11946-4; hardcover) (ISBN: 0-415-11947-2; paperback) (Library of Congress call number: B105.A8G65 1995) Authenticity as found in the thought of: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, & Camus. Academic rather than existential, but an important contribution to the very slim literature on Authenticity. If these thinkers' versions of Authenticity interest you, you will want to read this volume. If you want to read other books on this existential theme, search the Internet for: "Authenticity Bibliography". James Leonard Park, existential philosopher
