Identidad y autenticidad: entre armonía individual y conflicto social: Una aproximación desde Charles Taylor

Abstract

Through this article we would like to explore one of the most popular characterizations of human nature, one which shows the agonistic conflict experienced by humans before the need to build and reaffirm their identity and individuality within society. In order to do this, we will review the ethical-‐‑anthropological conception of Charles Taylor, explaining the intrinsic and mutual interrelation of both philosophical disciplines, from the ideal of authenticity and the construction of modern identity within a language community.
