This volume is a collection of thirteen seminal essays on ethics, free will, and the philosophy of mind.

The essays deal with such central topics as freedom of the will, moral responsibility, the concept of a person, the structure of the will, the nature of action, the constitution of the self, and the theory of personal ideals.

By focusing on the distinctive nature of human freedom, Professor Frankfurt is anle to explore fundamental problems of what it is to be a person and of what one should care about in life.
Industry Reviews
'Harry G. Frankfurt is one of the great philosophers of our time. For those who lament that contemporary academic philosophy has become too technical and detached from basic questions of human meaning and value, . . .[On Bullshit is] a breath of fresh air.' Robert George, Princeton University, Princeton Alumni Weekly
