Irony, consciousness, death

Summary/Abstract: The text attempts at reconstructing the main theses of the book 'Autentyczność i nowoczesność', [‘Authenticity and modernity’], both historically and philosophically. The first aspect enables to unveil the mechanism of transformation of the notion of authenticity: from the early-modern moment of bifurcated subject, through to the romanticist concepts of authenticity and modern visions. The second aspect made it possible to take a closer look at the structure of authentic subject, rhetorical mechanisms devised for substantiating the category, and the consciousness vs. authenticity relation.
