One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, as Harry Frankfurt writes, "we have no theory."
Frankfurt, one of the world's most influential moral philosophers, attempts to build such a theory here. With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt proceeds by exploring how bullshit and the related concept of humbug are distinct from lying. He argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all.
Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Frankfurt concludes that although bullshit can take many innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the practitioner's capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not. Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true. By virtue of this, Frankfurt writes, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.
Harry G. Frankfurt is a professor of philosophy emeritus at Princeton University. His books include The Reasons of Love; Necessity, Volition, and Love; and The Importance of What We Care About. He lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

Bullshit, Mr. Frankfurt! 刘未鹏 /文 链接:http://blog.csdn.net/pongba/archive/2008/03/09/2160467.aspx It was literally like stepping on a load of bullshit (at first I was going for “crap”, but then I thought it would be too impolite not to use the word ...
评分花了大约两个小时看完《论扯谈》。结论是:文章不错,书就算了吧! 这个时代缺少废话少的作者,能够如本书作者这样以简洁明了风格的人进行学术研究的人实在太少了。作者的结论也如此简洁明了: ”扯谈不是说谎,却是真理最大的敌人。因为说谎的人知道何者为真,却讲的是假话...
评分普林斯顿大学哲学系前主任法兰克福教授凭借这一本薄薄的《论扯淡》(On Bullshit)成为亚马逊十大畅销作家之一,国内首个译本的译者是台湾的时评家南方朔先生。我几年前就买得一本《论扯淡》,一直没有认认真真地去阅读它。春节得空,将这本一百一十多页的小书一气读完,它也成...
评分河南淇县的摘星台公园有块“扯淡碑”。古碑阳面的最上面有四个横字,“再不来了”,中间竖着刻“泰极仙翁脱骨处”,“泰”字一边一个“扯”,一边一个“淡”。阴面刻,“翁,燕人,水木氏,明末甲申访道云梦修真。翁生不言寿,莫考其纪。”淇县有个老人,退了休开始研究这古碑...
评分这本书的名字会让人感兴趣,那是很自然的事情。因为我们都不可避免地认识到这样一点:我们几乎一直都在说些没有什么意义的话。 海德格尔也曾定义过这样一种叫做闲谈的东西,这种闲谈遮蔽了人本真的存在。至于我们为什么要如此说些不着边际的话,照海德格尔的意思,人们这么做无...
