Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on linguistic pragmatics, philosophy, psychology and law, All Bullshit and Lies? develops a comprehensive framework for analyzing not just the deliberate insincerity of lying, misleading, and withholding, but also pathological forms of untruthfulness such as dogma, distortion, and bullshit, deriving from an irresponsible approach to knowledge.
