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.

评分关于胡说八道的哲学分析。 如果更年轻的时候读这个,可能会觉得这本书本身就是在扯淡,但是现在读,的确是感受到了其中进行的哲学分析。还蛮有意思的一本小书
评分后面太难了,看的我很难受
评分Yum~~~
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...
评分前陣子看了《論扯淡》,原著名為《On Bullshit》 裏面把扯淡這一動作幾乎批判到一無是處 基本的論調為: 撒謊者知道事實的真相是什麽,旨在試圖掩蓋真相 扯淡者根本不在乎事實是什麽,就在那邊高談闊論 所以在真理面前,比起撒謊,扯淡才是...
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...
评分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...
评分李敖在《中国性研究》里面讲过这样一个有趣的笑话: 兄弟二人,赴京赶考,兄中状元,弟弟落第。弟弟先返乡,弟媳不乐。入夜,弟弟语其妻曰:“别以为考上状元有什么好,考上后,那话儿就没有了!”弟媳信以为真,破涕为笑,反倒庆幸自己丈夫落第。第二天,偷偷告诉嫂嫂,说哥...
