On Bullshit

Harry Frankfurt


Purchase this title at B&N

I really can't say much about this small, slim volume (in order to get a magazine article to be sixty-seven pages, they made the book smaller than a mass market paperback and enlarged the type slightly) other than "brilliant." This is absolutely wonderful stuff; it's the rarest of philosophical treatises that will actually get a laugh out of you. This one will, and more than once. It's already a cult classic, having sold over three hundred thousand copies in just its first few months of release; I'll just add my voice to the many who have already given this book the high praise it deserves. You want a copy, and you want it now.
