Having outlined a theory of bullshit and falsehood, Harry G. Frankfurt turns to what lies beyond them: the truth, a concept not as obvious as some might expect.
Our culture's devotion to bullshit may seem much stronger than our apparently halfhearted attachment to truth. Some people (professional thinkers) won't even acknowledge "true" and "false" as meaningful categories, and even those who claim to love truth cause the rest of us to wonder whether they, too, aren't simply full of it. Practically speaking, many of us deploy the truth only when absolutely necessary, often finding alternatives to be more saleable, and yet somehow civilization seems to be muddling along. But where are we headed? Is our fast and easy way with the facts actually crippling us? Or is it "all good"? Really, what's the use of truth, anyway?
With the same leavening wit and commonsense wisdom that animates his pathbreaking work On Bullshit , Frankfurt encourages us to take another look at the truth: there may be something there that is perhaps too plain to notice but for which we have a mostly unacknowledged yet deep-seated passion. His book will have sentient beings across America asking, "The truth—why didn't I think of that?"

The plausibility of white lies 在PageOne用瞭一個午飯時間,看完瞭這本小書。 一個教授寫瞭一本書,叫On Bullshit,大賣。所以,要寫這一本來補數。 Bullshit他們譯瞭作屁話,是危害世界發展的語言,是言不及義,是塘邊鶴的多餘,挑動衝突,無所作為。 於是,甚麼纔重要?...

行吧。Ch 6: References to etymology often herald bullshitting[.]
評分略冗長,道理是都懂的,隻是看瞭下普林斯頓教授的思考,還是有漏洞,不過我的思路也是。但我一個晚上就讀完啦

評分哲學的東西果然讀起來不那麼舒服,好在這本書小而短,而淺顯易懂。基本從instrumental,rationality和individual perfection,distinguishment的角度討論瞭truth的重要性。作者唯一鼓勵說謊的情況是,彼此知道對方說謊,並且知道對方知道自己說的謊,並對真相有所瞭解,這一段的論述我覺得不夠徹底全麵。大膽地猜想on bullshit應該更好看些。
