Written by Harry G. Frankfurt - Audio book narrated by George Wilson - Unabridged Fiction - 1 COMPACT DISC - 1 hour Publisher, Recorded Books (May 2005) This New York Times best-seller brilliantly and humorously captures our age by exposing the one element that so clearly defines modern society: bullshit. Highly esteemed philosopher Harry G. Frankfurt has authored a dazzlingly concise doctrine that Slate magazine says "is one of those not-at-all-obvious insights that become blindingly obvious." Frankfurt believes there is a clear difference between the liar and the bullshitter. Liars acknowledge the reality of truth but choose to ignore it, whereas bullshitters pay little attention to the reality of truth. According to Frankfurt, this fundamental difference actually makes BS the greater enemy of the truth—and the world is full of its practitioners. Wry and wonderfully enlightening, On Bullshit is a landmark in philosophical thought. "One can only applaud Frankfurt for, so to speak, dumping the discussion on a grateful public. I bullrot you not.
