I can’t grasp plenty of complex books, and that’s fine if it’s a matter of subject matter that my education hasn’t covered and they’re written very technically. But Taylor wrote well and plainly. There were some words I needed to look up, and I only looked up some of them. But mostly, I think this book requires and deserves close attention and a bit of work on the part of the reader, and I just didn’t seem to have it in me. Laziness I guess. My loss, and not a reflection on the book... ( ) Based on a series of lectures delivered in 1991, there is a significant difference between the text and the audio. Oscillating between dense inacessibility and plain speech, between profundidty and glib naive generalisations, this is a fantastic example of Canadian Idealism. It would be unfair and simplistic to describe this as a book in favour of reformism, or to characterise the book as saying "for the left to win it must sound like or entertain the arguments of the right." And yet there is something very Canadian about arguing that "all sides" are valid, striking a balance between all positions, and and seeking to muddle through. Of course Taylor insists he is not advocating balance, but rather going back to the original ideas of, in this case, primarily authenticity, and re-emphasising the good parts of those ideas. Reframing the argument away from 'is the quest for authenticity good or bad' to 'how can we produce good authenticity.' This is similar to the way Alain de Botton argues for good porn, instead of for or against porn, etc etc. And yet. What are the limits of this style of argument? Will we find ourselves arguing for better facism instead of being simplistically for or against facism? I remove from context, simplify and exagerrate. I know. But. There is much to be said both for and against Canadian Idealism. This book can serve as a useful place to start such a discussion. LA ÉTICA DE LA AUTENTICIDAD El ensayo que se traduce en este volumen, La ética de la autenticidad, según el título de la edición norteamericana, o El malestar de la modernidad, según reza la primera versión canadiense, es el último libro publicado por el filósofo canadiense, es el último libro publicado por el filósofo canadiense Charles Taylor (1931) y puede ser presentado como una culminación de su obra más extensa, Sources of the Self. The Making of Modern Identity. El trabajo de Taylor, profesor de filosofía en la Universidad de McGill, es exponente de una perspectiva hermenéutica que se encamina a la critica social y cultural. El presente ensayo indaga las formas y las causadas del individualismo ético moderno frente al cual realiza un esfuerzo de recuperación de las fuentes sustantivas de valoración de determinadas tradiciones culturales. Charles Taylor muestra aquí, también, un ejercicio de su comunitarismo democrático al reivindicar el lugar central de las comunidades en la constitución de la identidad personal y colectiva. In his perennially popular Massey lectures, now with an updated look, Charles Taylor focuses on the key modern concept of self-fulfilment, often attacked as the central support of what Christopher Lasch has called "the culture of narcissism." To Taylor, self-fulfilment, although often expressed in self-centred ways, isn't necessarily a rejection of traditional values and social commitment; it also reflects something authentic and valuable in modern culture. Only by distinguishing what is good in this modern striving from what is socially and politically dangerous, Taylor says, can our age be made to deliver its promise. http://www.anansi.ca/titles.cfm?pub_id=48
Man finner ikke frem til hva som er verdifullt ved å rote på soveværelset, derimot finner man det ved å analysere de historisk frembragte, kollektive forestillinger det moderne selvet har om seg selv. Charles Taylor er professor ved McGill University, Canada og leverer med Autentisitetens etikk (The Malaise of Modernity) et viktig bidrag til debatten om det moderne samfunnets grunnlag og fremtidsutsikter.

Everywhere we hear of decline, of a world that was better before the influence of modernity. While some lament Western culture's slide into relativism and nihilism and others celebrate the trend as a liberating sort of progress, Taylor calls on us to face the moral and political crises of our time, and to make the most of modernity's challenges.
