The self-authenticity is one of the most important subjects in Nietzsche's philosophy. For Nietzsche, to be authentic is to free oneself from nowadays culture and it's morality. The modern culture is wrong for german philosopher for many reasons, and if we want to understand why this culture is so destructive to human beings, we should to present some of them. Firstly, the modern culture deny all the basic human's instincts and treat them like they were something that one should to overcome. For example, if someone feels hatred or envy, today's world tells him that these feeling are definitely wrong and noble man shouldn't feel them. But it wasn't always like that. In Greek's culture envy and hatred were feelings which allowing to advance. When a Greek athlete saw that his freind was faster than him, he wanted to become better in his performance. The same was in another areas. So, as we see, Nietzsche didn't want to overcome human's instincts but rather transform them to the point where there'll be the unity of culture and nature. Nietzsche knew that a man isn't able to abandon his nature, so the only way to remain authentic is to use and affirm them. Each other way entails false-self which contradicts itself. In the social situations, at work for example, when a man fells anger, the culture tells him that he should repress this feeling and smile instead if he want to appear as a good worker to the public. Because of that the modern culture is falsified at her roots and are only able to give birth to an unauthenthic person which treats their own nature as something evil or strange. In these conditions man doesn't truly love himself, so the modern culture recquires overcoming.
