The Ethics Of The Lie

Product Specifications
Book Description
Pinocchio knows: the unconscious knowledge of the conscious lie.
From little white lies to the deepest, darkest ones, it is an accepted fact that
we-like the boy who cried wolf-lie very often, at least three times a day. The
thesis of this erudite and entertaining book is that lies are structured like
paradoxes. Lying is a common social manifestation that is fraught with
contradictions: we lie quite frequently, but we hate liars, and we detest above
all being lied to. We know that most politicians lie, hoping that they lie
reasonably, as it were, but when they are caught in the act, their careers are
ruined.
