Recenzje

In this path-breaking volume, combining analyses of discursive strategies and pathologies with philosophical reflections on responsibility, Chris Heffer shines a light onto the heterogeneous nature of untruthfulness. The result is a compelling exploration of the space located between simple lies and unadulterated truths-a space occupied by bullshit, claptrap, and other forms of insincere or irresponsible speech."-Alessandra Tanesini, author of Philosophy of Language A-Z
