My Opera
On Bullshit

I came across this funny looking little book last month in a bookshop whilst trying to find Aristoteles... The title got my attention and I started reading it right there. The first pages made laugh outloudly! It was extremly humorous to me, how a first class philosopher uses strict methods to analyse and define something like bullshit. The cost was 11.96 €, so I said, what the hell... and i bought it.Yesterday I read it trough and I must say the subject is far more serious than I expected. Bullshit is really all around us and means bigger deanger to truth than lie. But we all bullshit every once in a while, mostly because we are forced to make stuff up. People expect us to know something and tell it, but we don't have a clue. So we bullshit them. Or sometimes we are in a situation where we have to make a great impression on somebody or maybe even a bigger corwd of people. Bullshit is one of the best ways to do it
So, if you want to learn more, I suggest you read this book or view interview with the author on Youtube firstly.
