abstract = {Karol Irzykowski’s postulate of sincerity is similar to the modern concept of authenticity and is part of the discussion on the condition of the modern subject. Sincerity is a critical category and has anthropological, aesthetic and ethical aspects. Irzykowski redefines the traditional communicative assumptions of the phenomenon by reversing the order of moral principles and the relation between art and reality. The category of appearances, i.e. fantasy, fiction, lies and falsehood, is at the basis of what is sincere and enables the aesthetic experience of authenticity. Irzykowski sees the crisis of authenticity and the fear of inauthenticity as a positive condition, as they help create an original and active subjectivity within the order of social communication.},
