On Bull___ (hint: it starts with an s, ends in a t, and rhymes with ‘it’)
Go on, just admit it; you want to read this, don’t you? Ahh, the magic of book titles.
On Bullshit, was published by Princeton University Press and written by philosophy professor, Harry Frankfurt, earlier this year. The publisher comments:
“One of the most salient features of our cultures is that there is so much bullshit. Everybody knows this. Each of us contributed our share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. . . . By virtue of this bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.”
This book, a mere 67 pages is selling like hotcakes. As of the April 17th New York Time’s bestseller list, On Bull____, ranked number 3 on their nonfiction list.
