This chapter shows how Taylor's notion of authenticity, Polanyi's postcritical epistemology and Aristotle's conception of actualization come together in a fruitful way. Lowney demonstrates how the subjective feeling of beauty or a "resonance" can plausibly indicate the existence of reality or of a personal ideal. He shows how three strands of modernity, represented by the Aristotelian traditionalist, scientific rationalist, and the subjective expressivist, all have something to contribute to a new modernity, and how each may find valuable insights in views that it normally opposes.
