description

Highlights Philosophy of mind offers a new philosophical foundation for authenticity. Philosophy of mind studies mental states, whose defining property is intentionality. Intentionality is an essential trait in any characterization of authenticity. Experiencing authenticity is a mental state. Authenticity’s role as a theoretical construct is strengthened and amplified.
