How Authentic Are You?
Do you think you know yourself? Is it possible to know yourself? What does “self” even mean?!
The question of authenticity and being oneself was recently explored by Radio 4’s In Our Time. It’s a subject that has occupied philosophers from Aristotle to the present day. But don’t worry, you don’t have to read their extensive musings on this difficult subject (but you might like to listen to In Our Time!). Just take this fun quiz and see how authentic you are…
