- W4312230302 abstract "Abstract Chapter 3 considers Nietzsche’s and Rousseau’s respective understandings of the individual self. A common way of characterizing the monumental shift in the moral life of modern Europe—initiated by Rousseau and radicalized by Nietzsche—is in terms of the ideal of authenticity. Charles Taylor highlights Rousseau’s crucial role in this shift, arguing that the latter’s emphasis on the inner voice of conscience and sentiment of one’s own existence introduced a “massive subjective turn” in modern culture. Taylor sees Nietzsche as ushering in a new understanding of authenticity that severs it from morality and identifies it instead with artistic self-creation. I fill out, refine, and complicate this picture. With respect to Rousseau, I argue that his conception of authenticity is not as subjectivist as Taylor suggests. Authenticity does not mean conformity to some inner self but being free of the dependence on others that leads to the dissimulation and hypocrisy Rousseau deplores. Such independence requires that our desires are in equilibrium. This ultimately requires the sort of self-mastery Rousseau identifies with moral virtue. Nietzsche rejects this identification of authenticity with morality, emphasizing instead the uniqueness and elusiveness of the self and reconceiving authenticity in terms of a rich doctrine of self-creation." @default.
