Philosophy brings authenticity
Authenticity is to be oneself; to be
one’s best self. It is not merely external, as in “being on your
best behaviour.”
Authenticity is to live in accordance with
one’s innermost values, understandings, and dreams.
Because
philosophy goes to the essence of everything, including life and
the human being, it brings authenticity.
Philosophy helps us to recognize and
remove our masks. It helps us to value who we are, to value our
deepest dreams for authenticity and our possibility of living our
unique place in the world.
Philosophy helps us to clarify who we
are and who we are not.
