The Limits of Authenticity (In-Person)

“Be yourself” is one of the most common pieces of advice in modern culture - but what does authenticity actually mean? Is it even possible to live fully authentically in a world shaped by social expectations, technology, relationships, and constant self-presentation?

This week, we’ll explore the philosophical idea of authenticity through the article “The Limits of Authenticity” and the work of thinkers such as Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion on the paradoxes and limits of authenticity as we drink at The Local in La Mirada.
