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.

这也许是一个难以接受的现实,但无法否认的是,我们生活在一个充满废话的社会里。 有些时候,废话是人际沟通的润滑剂,没有这些废话,大家都会觉得很尴尬。我们可以设想这样一个情境:你与一个点头之交同乘一趟电梯,除你们之外没有其他人,你会说些什么呢?天气、着装、要去...
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...
