autorisierende Größe

Philosophy
"Authentizität ist damit ein Begriff, der seine paradoxe Position zwischen subjektiver Legitimierung und objektiver Beglaubigung nicht aufgibt. Er wird in seiner reflexiven Selbstinszenierung als polemischer Gegenbegriff ebenso greifbar wie als **autorisierende Größe**."

justification
You can only ever hope to convey the approximate gist of texts like these (they always make me think of the emperor's new clothes), but here's my attempt at the whole sentence:
Its self-referentiality can be seen both as a polemical counterargument and as a justification in its own right.
And please don't ask me to explain what that means.
