Does this article really need a spoiler warning? Chris 04:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Can't find the cited review in the Daily Telegraph archives anywhere... can anyone verify this citation and/or provide a link to the original review?
Image:Frankfurt onbullshit.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
... isn't the joke here that Frankfurt bullshits about bullshit? Or is the essay really meant to be read without tongue in cheek? Maikel ( talk) 16:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I think it was me who added the EL, but now that I come to consider it I see no reason to think it is authorized. WP shouldn't be linking to copyright violations, so I'm about to remove the link. -- Hoary ( talk) 03:40, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
This article doesn't state the genesis of the term bullshit. Since the term is central to the focus of the essay, it seems to me like that's great context, either showing that this essay is commentary on an existing term, or is coins the term itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.139.254.117 ( talk) 02:04, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
The article has many citations of the book itself -- and rightly so. But the citation system is a bit cumbersome for this purpose. How about using Template:Rp? (You can see it used, plentifully, in Gianni Berengo Gardin bibliography, for example. Its use there is cumbersome, but less so than any alternative I can think of.) -- Hoary ( talk) 02:05, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
On Bullshit is a 2005 book (originally a 1986 essay) by American
philosopher
Harry G. Frankfurt which presents a theory of
bullshit that defines the concept and analyzes the applications of bullshit in the context of communication. Frankfurt determines that bullshit is speech intended to persuade without regard for truth. The liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it; the bullshitter doesn't care if what they say is true or false. Frankfurt's philosophical analysis of bullshit has been analyzed, criticized and adopted by academics since its publication.
Is this supposed to be a serious introduction? Who read this over and thought it sounded perfectly fine and publication-ready? Seriously, who? —
