2005 Miami Book Fair: Harry Frankfurt
Author and philosopher Harry Frankfurt's newest book is "On Bullshit." It's an in-depth exploration of society's acceptance of a slang word used to point out misinformation or lying. Mr. Frankfurt looks at the origins of the term and what it actually means.
Harry Frankfurt has written several books including "The Reasons of Love" and "The Importance of What We Care About." He is currently a philosophy professor emeritus at Princeton University.
Publisher: Princeton University Press 41 William Street Princeton, NJ 08540
