Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2006. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2006. Hardcover. Fine/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 100 pages. Book-length reflections and observations on subject. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by a University Press that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now scarce . Presents Harry G. Frankfurt's "On Truth". The sequel and companion volume to his ground-breaking "On Bullshit" (2005). A gem of a book that is as timely and relevant as ever, in these our mendacious times, when lies and lying reign and bullshit is the norm. Frankfurt offers a philosophical exploration because we don't have one to guide us - and more important, because we need one. "Written with his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor" (Publisher's blurb). "Without an appreciation for truth, humans cannot consider themselves - take pride in themselves - as rational animals, separate from other animals in that regard. Despite its brevity, this provocative meditation is not light reading" (Brad Hooper). An absolute "must-have" title for Harry G. Frankfurt collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in innumerable subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest moral philosophers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 030726422X., Princeton University Press, 2006, 5<

[EAN: 9780307264220], Neubuch, [PU: Alfred A. Knopf, New York], Hardcover. Having outlined a theory of bullshit and falsehood, Harry G. Frankfurt turns to what lies beyond them: the truth, a concept not as obvious as some might expect.Our culture's devotion to bullshit may seem much stronger than our apparently halfhearted attachment to truth. Some people (professional thinkers) won't even acknowledge "true" and "false" as meaningful categories, and even those who claim to love truth cause the rest of us to wonder whether they, too, aren't simply full of it. Practically speaking, many of us deploy the truth only when absolutely necessary, often finding alternatives to be more saleable, and yet somehow civilization seems to be muddling along. But where are we headed? Is our fast and easy way with the facts actually crippling us? Or is it "all good"? Really, what's the use of truth, anyway?With the same leavening wit and commonsense wisdom that animates his pathbreaking work On Bullshit, Frankfurt encourages us to take another look at the truth: there may be something there that is perhaps too plain to notice but for which we have a mostly unacknowledged yet deep-seated passion. His book will have sentient beings across America asking, "The truthwhy didn't I think of that?" Having outlined a theory of bullshit and falsehood, Frankfurt turns to what lies beyond them: the truth, a concept not as obvious as some might expect.
