  Authenticity (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most writers on inauthenticity in the twentieth century considered the predominant cultural norms to be inauthentic; not only because they were seen as forced on people, but also because, in themselves, they required people to behave inauthentically towards their own desires, obscuring true reasons for acting.
An early example of the connection between inauthenticity and capitalism was made by Karl Marx, whose notion of "alienation" can be linked to the later discourse on the nature of inauthenticity.
The connection of inauthenticity to capitalism is contained in the notion of "selling out," used to describe an artist whose work has become inauthentic after achieving commercial success and thus becoming to an extent integrated into an inauthentic system.

 Hi Michael,
It may be the case that seeing past the pursuit of inauthentic "goals" (i.e., goals defined outside the phenomena themselves -- by, for instance, the psychiatric community concerned with ‘functionality’ and ‘health’) we might open ourselves to the "authentic" goal — which is no goal at all.
An inauthentic goal would be a goal defined by the "They", which admittedly often covers many of the persuits of psychotherapy (and perhaps all of the goals of Managed Care).
One initial, inauthentic goal would then be to attempt to stop the suicide in order to follow a set of pre-prescribed guidelines (indicating a need for the inauthentic as well as the authentic).

The inauthentic artist then is one who thinks in that nineteenth century mode of thought where he is the focal point of creativity.
What the inauthentic artist strives for instead is to be recognized within his particular art scene, whether that be drawing, painting, writing, music or film.
What the inauthentic and authentic artist hold in common with each other is their ability to see or connect with others.

 The False Dasein: From Heidegger to Sartre and Psychoanalysis.
Gossip is an inauthentic use of discourse that simply repeats what is heard and accepted by the public without critically examining the grounds or validity of the subject matter in question.
In the case of the false Dasein, however, fallenness is exacerbated in that Dasein constricts its comportment primarily to the modes of the inauthentic, thereby abdicating its potentiality-for-Being.
Despite the false Dasein's inauthentic comportment as Being-in-the-world, we have determined that it is possible for Dasein to transcend its inauthenticity, even in the case of the false self, by apprehending its authentic Being-toward-possibility in its potentiality-for-Self.

 Heidegger by the Sensei   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Inauthenticity comes from being like everyone else, letting the "they" make choices for us.
Inauthenticity also comes from being a self that is unaware of its own death; this is often manifested in one's selfish need to be oriented only towards self-preservation, as if death could be avoided.
The authentic self is able to make resolute choices outside the boundaries of the "they", outside of social conditioning and fully aware of the possibility of death in its future.

 CHAPTER VII
Heidegger’s notion of inauthentic and fallen Dasein strikes a similarity to the notion of jiiva.
In other words, in the inauthentic state one loses one’s individuality, i.e., being one’s self, and allows oneself to be guided by the ‘crowd’ or the impersonal self.
In the inauthentic state a person is characterized by curiosity, idle talk and ambiguity.

 Articles - Authenticity (reenactment)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
For example, in medieval reenactment cotton would be considered an inauthentic material (opposed to wool or linen, for example), although it would be deemed authentic in reenactment of certain modern periods and events, such as the American Civil War or World War 2.
Generally, the ratio of events and groups enforcing strict authenticity to those permitting (limited) inauthenticity among the participating reenactors is estimated to be half-half, i.e.
talking in a way that sounds appropriate for the represented period, inauthentic equipment and behaviour is often talked about with the use of descriptive phrases like "pocket dragon" (for a lighter or box of matches) and "horseless carriage" (for a car or other engine powered vehicle) to circumvent strict enforcement of authentic speech.

 [No title]
Therefore, since the structures of authentic and inauthentic Dasein are basically the same, all we must do is "uncover" or bring forth what is already present in the everyday.
The situation of authenticity lying "within" the inauthentic world and Heidegger's task of extracting an understanding and indicating a way of being in the world is summarized graphically below.
Dasein, in facing death is thereby _freed from "the they." (2) In becoming free from the inauthentic modes of the they, Dasein becomes freed _for ones own death.

 Letters VII (120-121)
To be 'authentic' is to face the existential paradox, the essential contradiction, in a state of lucid anxiety, whereas to be 'inauthentic' is to take refuge from this anxiety in the serious-mindedness of the anonymous 'they'.
It follows from this that the inauthentic man, in hiding in his serious-mindedness from the anxiety of contradiction, is actually hiding from the two aspects of existence, the comic and the tragic.
Pain, of course, is painful whether it is felt by the puthujjana or the arahat; but the arahat, though he may avoid it if he can, does not fear pain; so the fear of the inauthentic man in the face of physical danger is not simply the thought 'there may be pain'.

 The EigenTrust Algorithm for Reputation Management in P2P Networks
In this context, attempting to identify malicious peers that provide inauthentic files is superior to attempting to identify inauthentic files themselves, since malicious peers can easily generate a virtually unlimited number of inauthentic files if they are not banned from participating in the network.
We observed a 10% fraction of inauthentic downloads, mostly due to the fact that good nodes make mistakes once in a while and upload inauthentic files (for example, by not deleting a downloaded inauthentic file from their shared folders).
This minimizes the number of inauthentic downloads, and the numbers are virtually equal to the numbers in Figure 5 when peers do not form a malicious collective.

Can something be inauthentic, that is, not quite right, not quite true, yet nevertheless powerful---healing and helpful, true in a way that isn't so much formed in fact as it is in meaning and purpose?
All I'm asking is that you don't too quickly answer "no" just because such an experience has not yet been your own, or perhaps even more accurately stated, because you may not yet have recognized such an experience when it did occur.

In am not talking about "men's liberation" this morning in a "me too" sense--an attempt to stifle, or devalue the legitimacy of the claims made by feminist ideologies by deflecting the argument away from women and back onto men--who are the source of the "problem" in the first place.
This subject role--this master role-- insofar as it still has currency--and I think it does in much of the world--is a blueprint designed to prepare men for a social role which is neither desirable nor desired.

 Generous Orthodoxy ThinkTank: What is Constantinianism?
However, prior to the eschaton, there is also a certain in-breaking of eschatological realities: the church as the body of Christ, renewed and energized by the Spirit, is called to be (and enabled to be) a foretaste of the kingdom.
Construing all of those as "inauthentic," especially when done without argument, seems to hinder the possibility of forming "ad hoc" alliances that may be a necessary means to confront some injustices that Christians, in allegiance to their particular conception of justice, should have an interest in confronting.
And what would make them "inauthentic" is not that they are "non-teleological" (I don't think any is!) but rather that they are directed towards the _wrong_ telos.

 Denis Dutton on authenticity in art
However, many works of art that are called “inauthentic” are merely misidentified.
Shelton criticizes Huichol yarn construction for its failure to be continuously linked to historic Huichol artforms by what he calls an “organic principle of evolution.” Continuity here means persistent presence of external form, and there is little doubt that this is an adequate criterion for authenticity in some contexts.
Authenticity often implies that the original indigenous audience for an art is still intact; inauthenticity that the original audience is gone, or has no interest in the art, and that the art is now being created for a different audience, perhaps for foreign consumption.
