Abstract

In this paper we address and explore the Ortegian concept of authenticity. Life is a work that each person has to discover and conquer. This means that its fullness is inseparable from concepts such as "destiny", "project", "mission" or "duty". For Ortega, it is a matter of betting on a vital path that lives up to our best intentions, of examining and valuing the moral caliber of personal life. We suggest how Ortega's proposal could be adjusted to the contemporary context by taking into account some of the most relevant developments with respect to notions of subject and ego, which seem to be haunted by forces that prevent them from having absolute sovereignty over themselves.
