Harry G. Frankfurt – On Bullshit (Boktanlık Üzerine) – Altıkırkbeş Yayınları Turkish Edition (2015)

Description:

This Turkish edition of On Bullshit (Boktanlık Üzerine) by Harry G. Frankfurt was published by Altıkırkbeş Yayınları in 2015. Printed in Turkish, the book is a celebrated philosophical essay examining the nature of "bullshit" as a distinct form of communication and its impact on truth, language, and public discourse.

In this influential work, Frankfurt argues that "bullshit" differs fundamentally from lying. While a liar deliberately conceals the truth, the producer of "bullshit" is simply indifferent to whether a statement is true or false. Through this analysis, the author explores the growing prevalence of careless rhetoric, empty language, and misinformation in politics, media, and everyday life, making the book a remarkably relevant study of modern communication.

Themes such as truth, language, ethics, communication, politics, and critical thinking appear throughout the work. Despite its humorous title, On Bullshit has become one of the most widely discussed works of contemporary analytic philosophy.
