The Malaise of Modernity
Relying on Charles Taylor’s exposition of authenticity in The Malaise of Modernity, compare and contrast the search for an authentic life as articulated in Between the World and Me, by Ta-Nehisi Coates, and An Interrupted Life, by Etty Hillesum. How are they the same? How are they different? Finally, what do these books teach us about the search for authenticity today? Discuss.
