#1 New York Times bestseller Featured on The Daily Show and 60 Minutes The acclaimed book that illuminates our world and its politics by revealing why bullshit is more dangerous than lying
One of the most prominent features of our world is that there is so much bullshit. Yet we have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, how it’s distinct from lying, what functions it serves, and what it means. In his acclaimed bestseller On Bullshit, Harry Frankfurt, who was one of the world’s most influential moral philosophers, explores this important subject, which has become a central problem of politics and our world.
With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. 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. Although bullshit can take many innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the bullshitter’s capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not. Liars at least acknowledge that the truth matters. Because of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.
Remarkably prescient and insightful, On Bullshit is a small book that explains a great deal about our time.

الهراء .. موضوع مهم يتحدث عنه أستاذ الفلسفة الأخلاقية هاري فرانكفورت في هذا الكتاب القصير. فالهراء كلام بلا مضمون ولا معنى، مجرد كلام (مأخوذ خيره) يهدف لإقناع الآخرين بلا دليل حقيقي. الكذب يختلف عن الهراء. فالكاذب هدفه إخفاء الحقيقة، أما الهرار - إذا صح التعبير - فلا يهتم بصدق أو كذب ما يقوله بقدر سعيه لإقناع الطرف الآخر بما يقوله مع استخدام فنون الاحتيال والمغالطات المنطقية. وبطبيعة الحال تزداد وسائل التواصل وأدوات الإعلام في وقتنا الحاضر، ويزداد بالتأكيد كمية الهراء المقروء والمسموع والمرئي، هذه الوسائل رغم أهميتها صارت تفتح الباب على مصراعيه لكل من هب ودب لكي يفتي وينصح في مسائل العلوم الدينية والدنيوية، فالكل صار طبيب والكل صار مصلح اجتماعي والكل صار متخصص في علوم الطاقة والكل يفهم في السياسية وهكذا (انشر تؤجر). لأنه ببساطة الكل لديه الفرصة للتحدث بما يشاء لمن يشاء (مع محظورات وخطوط حمراء محددة بالطبع) وبالتالي صار السعي إلى المعرفة الحقيقة صعبا لأنها مخفية وراء كم هائل من المعلومات الزائفة أي الهراء. كان التحدي في السابق هو الحصول على المعلومة نظرا لندرة الكتب وقلة مصادر الإعلام،
