--- abstract: "“Bullshit”, as Harry Frankfurt writes in his recent book, On Bullshit, is a communication that pretends to be genuinely informative, but really is not. The person who talks bullshit, Frankfurt holds, is unconcerned with whether\r\nwhat he says is true, but is very concerned with how he is thought of by the listener. In this paper, I discuss Frankfurt's theory of bullshit, making specific\r\nreference to the requirement for deceptive intent on the part of the bullshitter, and to whether bullshitting must involve conscious dishonesty. Some choice examples of bullshit are nosed and the question of whether Frankfurt really has it in for postmodernism is addressed." altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - ben.kotzee@gmail.com creators_name: - family: Kotzee given: Ben honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2007 date_type: published datestamp: 2007-11-13 01:05:32 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/58/02 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 5802 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/5802/1/Kotzee.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:59 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 2 pagerange: 164-175 pubdom: TRUE publication: South African Journal of Philosophy publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 21 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-11-13 01:05:32 subjects: - SAJP-Post succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: 'Our Vision and our Mission: Bullshit, Assertion and Belief' type: journalp userid: 466 volume: 26
