Publisher Description

Written by Harry G. Frankfurt, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Princeton University-one of the world's most influential moral philosophers-On Bullshit has to be heard to be believed! This best-seller describes the unique situation in our culture in which the truth is overwhelmed by wave after wave of nonsense and misrepresentation. Faced with no clearly articulated theory of this condition, what function it serves, or what it means to us, Frankfurt enters his own brilliant theory.

"A satyrical approach to definining what has become "the bane of our civilization" - people spewing words from their mouths that have very little to do with the reality in which they live. Witty, educational,mildly irreverent and impressively articulate. I thoroughly enjoyed."

— Robyn (4 out of 5 stars)

    " This is a treatise on what constitutes bullshit, not to be confused with lying. It is a very good read and I believe every teenage girl entering high school should be required to read it in order to deal with male-female relationships. "

    " This brief treatise, vulgar in content yet delightful in the telling, is a tour de force about one of the most salient characteristics of our times. The ending is a bit weak relative to the rest of the book, but overall this little tome is nothing short of brilliant. "
