In this philosophical essay, Harry G. Frankfurt explores the concept of 'bullshit' and distinguishes it from lying. He argues that the 'bullshitter' does not care about the truth or falsehood of what he says, but seeks to impress his audience. Frankfurt examines how this attitude can be more detrimental to the truth than lying itself, since the liar at least recognizes the importance of truth, while the 'bullshitter' completely ignores it. With his characteristic wit and philosophical rigor, Frankfurt offers a profound reflection on the nature of communication and the importance of sincerity in public discourse.
