Acting authentically in the face of survival
#20
RE: Acting authentically in the face of survival
As stated in the OP, this is an existential topic. Here are some links to better explain authenticity in the context of existentialism:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authenticit...tentialism
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/existentialism/#Aut
http://www.iep.utm.edu/sartre-ex/#H6


There seems to be a lot of confusion as to the terminology used in this conversation. I'd recommend doing a little research on the topic, if you're not familiar with it.

And for kicks, this explains the Venus Project mentioned in my OP:
