Oxford Sociology: Bullshit

Friday, 22 March 2013

In my previous post I allude to Harry G. Frankfurt's On Bullshit. Should you have a mind to, you can see him talk about the concept here and here.

Leo said...: Are you aware of Jerry Cohen's response to Frankfurt, 'Deeper into Bullshit'? It's in his collection, Finding Oneself in the Other, under the title 'Complete Bullshit'. The second part, 'Why One Kind of Bullshit Flourishes in France' is amusing.; 22 March 2013 at 11:14

Leo said...: Ok, well you've probably already seen these too, but on even the small chance you haven't, these videos of Cohen uploaded to YouTube by Nicholas Vrousalis are great: http://www.youtube.com/user/nvrousalis (esp. 'The German Idea of Freedom': http://youtu.be/ey-hYJM7B3I); 26 March 2013 at 06:29
