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 different from lying, what purposes it serves, and what it means. In his acclaimed bestseller On Bullshit, which was featured on The Daily Show and 60 Minutes, Harry Frankfurt, who was one of the world’s most influential moral philosophers, explores one of the most serious problems of our politics and our world.

Das philosophische Enfant terrible Harry G. Frankfurt ist zurück, und zwar mit einem Paukenschlag. Nach seinem Welterfolg "Bullshit" widmet er sich in bewährt streitbarer Manier einer hochaktuellen Debatte: Ökonomische Ungleichheit.

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.
