A relevância da autenticidade e a inautenticidade na compreensão do Homem contemporâneo em Martin Heidegger

Abstract

The present monograph has as its theme: Authenticity and inauthenticity as two possibilities for understanding contemporary Man in Martin Heidegger. It takes as its starting point the problem of being. Therefore, it aims to reflect on authenticity and inauthenticity as two items that can characterize and concomitantly guide contemporary man, so that the research problem lies in the fact that contemporary man has fallen into ambiguity in which he deviates from his own being. To this end, the paper specifically aims to contextualize the conception of authenticity from antiquity to contemporary times; to discuss the problematic of Being in Martin Heidegger; to explain authenticity and inauthenticity in Heidegger and their relevance in contemporary times. The work was carried out under a qualitative research as to the nature and bibliographical as to the type whose interpretation technique is the hermeneutic method. Therefore, theoretical references such as books, scientific articles, among others, constituted the foundation of this work. In this way, the research consisted of the recollection of bibliographic data followed by reading and selection, especially in terms of the summarizing and filing of information pertaining to the theme. As for the results, authenticity and inauthenticity express contemporary Man as pure Dasein in relation to his search for Being and manifests itself in two ways: the deviation that disconnects Man from his own destiny which is to search for the meaning of Being. This deviation is what is called inauthenticity and the taking upon oneself of the responsibility of the search for one's own being, authenticity. We conclude that Heideggerian thought proposes a clinical look at what we think has already been defined, that is, Being. And in ethics, it proposes a posture in which we, as addresses of the Being, must be ourselves, that is, authentic as beings that existentially bear facticity, intramundanity and discursiveness, temporality and mortality. In Mozambican society, Heidegger's thought proposes the tireless search for autonomy and independence with the recommendation of leaving anonymity or impersonality in all senses starting from economic, political and ethical anonymity to cultural and academic anonymity
