Every truth comes after the event, the philosopher Alain Badiou once said. It's tempting to view the widespread stress, anxiety, and sense of disconnection today as the culmination of such an event-one that reveals an uncomfortable truth: Few people dare to live authentically, as they are consumed by what others think of them.

Critical phenomenology emphasizes the intersectionality of lived experience, examining how self and social identity shape our understanding and engagement with the world.
