Philosopher and Social Critic Brian C. Taylor's "the Authentic Self" is the most modern attempt to define the Self. By way of running the associations in our minds through what Taylor calls the Philosophy Generator, we become privy not only to of what our thoughts are made, but of what all thoughts are made. Developed during the four years Taylor researched and wrote "Anti-Social Engineering the Hyper-Manipulated Self," this new collection promises to deliver the purest, mathematical philosophy, with only the most minimal history, sociology and opinion. "The Authentic Self" is simply the nuts and bolts of how we become who we are. The constituents of your Paradigms, (the associations our minds make on any given idea,) are examined, sourced and evaluated with the goal of revealing your Authentic Self. The book is written simply, like a lesson in school, that simply repeats, getting more complicated each time, until finally the reader arrives at the best possible human understanding.
