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.

112页,前言两篇,趣读两篇,行间距疏可跑马,开本787×1092mm,横竖放不进正常的书丛里面去,从印刷的角度讲,可真是浪费了纸张。好在内容尚可一观,对扯淡,有一些非常有趣的论述。不过,通篇读下来,将扯淡与放屁、狗屁、瞎扯、胡扯等词之间的差异未能讲清楚,比较遗憾...

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...

哈里.法兰克福的<论扯淡>是2005年美国的十佳畅销书,作为一本一万多字的薄书,对于精神空虚又不想看的太累的人来说,是一本不错的消遣读物.书中所描述的是我们处于一个充满各种扯淡话语的世界,这些扯淡话语没有任何的实际意义,不能作任何功,而且对人也并没有什么激励作用,但却是...
