Bullshit, Truth, and Reason
Philosophia 47 (3):865-879 (2019)
Abstract
This article argues that bullshit is not an offense against truth but against reason. It maintains that bullshit occurs when speakers intentionally assert vague premises to make listeners accept their conclusions. This redefinition, I suggest, has consequences on the moral appraisal of bullshit.Author's Profile
