Agreed, good sir! But I don't agree with the statement.Obvious Leo wrote:You are the best at talking about it. The answers to all questions relating to the self lie within.Jaded Sage wrote:Who talks about it the most, or who is the best at talking about it?
I argue that part of self-cultivation involves getting rid of all fabricated personas.Obvious Leo wrote:Indeed. Not just Sartre. If we're honest with ourselves we all project a different chosen persona to suit the environment we happen to find ourselves in and we also adapt our forms of language accordingly. I don't see this as being in any way dishonest because I reckon that most of our notions of "Self" are delusional anyway. The Self is an ever-moving feast.Hobbes' Choice wrote: Not just Sartre.
It might interest you to know that the word "hypcrite" in the Bible has also been translated as "actor" or, as I say, "poser" or "faker" or "fraud."Hobbes' Choice wrote:Its a tacit implication of all existentialism; not a specific doctrine.Jaded Sage wrote:Who talks about it the most, or who is the best at talking about it?
It is interesting that the act of what you might call re-inventing yourself, becoming the author of your life, and allowing yourself to become absorbed into the role that you cut out for yourself in life can so easily be seen as being a poseur, especially if the act you are playing is not terribly convincing.
The art of spotting a poseur is part of the game, as the poseur-spotter takes a high ground in that he can claim to observe, what others do not, that the poseur has managed to fool some, but not him. In other words some people are copyists, and thus not "authentic"
Artist have to craft themselves to break into the "art world". There are many I feel are posing and pretend, even to themselves that they are sincere.
