Authenticity is an important part of philosophical thought of Charles Taylor.When faced with the dilemma of differences in interpretation of modernity,he did not arbitrate the right and wrong of this dispute,but to analyze the diversity and complexity of individual and social existence,and reconstruct the “authenticity” in the ethical sense.Taylor systematically pointed out that the historic transformation in selfunderstanding had led to unprecedented expansion of individual rights and social divisions.Taylor hoped that people would entertain “community” feelings to shape to the ideal of “authenticity” in the face of the predicament of modernity,and show the essence and significance of individual existence with a moral framework and kindness vision.Taking the idea of authenticity from the perspective of Taylor’s community as the research object,the thesis appeals people to build a common vision as the ideal goal,and realizes the return of individuals to the cradle of authenticity in the real sense through the positive interaction between the community and individuals.Taylor looks into the traditional unauthentic state of and diagnoses its causes.He explored the true meaning of modern authentic thought from the dimension of community thought to obtain feasible solutions to save the unauthentic situation.From which we found that Taylor tried to integrate the authenticity and the community,its purpose is to the community development theory demands and practice philosophy,gave birth to the new concept of individual freedom,it tries to guide the plight of people out of the dilemma of modernity,in an attempt to restore the richness and depth of people’s life,in the spirit of modern place injected fresh blood,Gather moral strength to awaken sleeping souls.Taylor combines multidimensional dimensions to recognize and investigate the meaning of authenticity,and his concept of authenticity has revolutionary and leading power,which has important enlightenment significance to social modernization and personal value ideal.
