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."

“Terrific…Has anything truer ever been written?”
— Montreal Gazette" IT JUST KEEPS ON PILING UP!!! "
— Ab, 2/14/2014" Nearly hot air. "
— Jason, 2/1/2014" This was an insightful look into just what bullshit is from the viewpoint of a moral philosopher, and a quick read. "
— Daniel, 1/19/2014" 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. "
— Naomi, 1/16/2014" Funny as hell! And again, it seems to me like he wrote it all just to have a good punchline as the last sentence. "
— Zrinka, 1/16/2014" This book taught me that you can still get hustled by the best of philosophers. It's a good toilet book though, so pick it up if you're looking for something to help you through those long poo's. "
— Daniel, 1/12/2014" 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. "
— Stefan, 1/9/2014" Buku ini bagus banget. Bisa jadi contoh bagaimana suatu kata didefinisi. Yah, hanya saja buku ini rada berat. Mungkin butuh 3 kali baca baru oke. "
— Arie, 1/9/2014" Dry bullshit. Fortunately not a whole lot of it. ;) "
— Lucian, 1/7/2014" It's a short essay that takes about 30 mins to read, so I wouldn't buy it in book form. I liked it; didn't know there was a difference between bullshit and lies. "
— Melvin, 12/28/2013" EH. Its a little too philosophical. There's no point or benefit of understanding. "
