About this listen

 A professor emeritus of philosophy at Princeton University, Harry G. Frankfurt penned a surprise smash hit with his New York Times best seller On Bullshit, which insightfully and wittily captured the human capacity for, and tendency toward, BS. Now he examines the other side of the coin with this equally entertaining and provocative follow-up.

As Frankfurt showed previously, bullshit lies within the realm of subjective perception. Truth, then, is what we find beyond this realm. But are we, as a people, willing to allow ourselves to be governed by honest principles? Could it be possible that we lack the commitment to acting morally and truthfully?

Using his trademark skill at sharing philosophical insights with a general audience, Frankfurt examines these and other questions in this informative audiobook.

Critic Reviews

"Equally brief, trenchant, and deeply thoughtful."(Booklist)

Drivel. Sorry but this is wordy and difficult to consume. Couldn't get through the first chapter. I'm sure the author is renowned and intelligent but the presentation of his thoughts is for a niche audience of navel gazers.

2 mins in. I'm done.
