| Summary: | In this paper, I will argue that embodied presence and ultimate commitments are not necessary for the authenticity of online relationships. In the first section, I will present Hubert Dreyfus’s Kierkegaardian analysis of the Internet. In the second, I will show the different positions that disagree with Dreyfus. And finally, in the third, I will look into (1) the distinction between human to human and human to nonhuman online interactions, (2) the continuity or discontinuity of the online and the offline relationships of persons, and (3) the forms of the relationship that occurred. From that analysis, I will derive some cases that will show the inadequacies and problems of the conditions presented by Dreyfus. © 2018 Philippine National Philosophical Research Society.
