S'està carregant… On Truthde Harry G. Frankfurt
   Wisdom (29) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. [A] society must not neglect to provide encouragement and support for capable individuals who devote themselves to acquiring and to exploiting significant truths. Moreover, whatever benefits and rewards it may sometimes be possible to attain by bullshitting, by dissembling, or through sheer mendacity, societies cannot afford to tolerate anyone or anything that fosters a slovenly indifference to the distinction between true and false. Much less can they indulge the shabby, narcissistic pretense that being true to the facts is less important than being "true to oneself." If there is any attitude that is inherently antithetical to a decent and orderly social life, that is it. (  ) drbrand | Jun 8, 2020 |  06/2013: read it again.

After the success of his work "On bullshit," Frankfurt looks at the other side of the philosophical coin. If bullshit resides in the realm of subjective perception, then truth points to what lies outside that realm. Frankfurt is praised for his ability to speak to a wide general audience. Thus, On Truth is required reading for anyone who wishes to understand the function of truth in our culture. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
