Shame and NecessityWilliams, Bernard Arthur Owen
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
This is a major, wide-ranging, and comprehensive book. A philosophical investigation that is also a literary and historical study, Truth and Truthfulness asks how and why we have come to think of accuracy, sincerity, and authenticity as virtues. Bernard Williams' account of their emergence is as detailed and imaginative as his defense of their importance is spirited and provocative. Williams asks hard questions, and gives them straightforward and controversial answers. His book does not simply describe and advocate these virtues of truthfulness; it manifests them.

Book Description: Princeton University Press, 2004. Paperback. Book Condition: New. NEW ED. 154mm x 21mm x 234mm. "In this exceptionally brilliant book, ranging effortlessly from Herodotus and Thucydides to Diderot and Nietzsche, Bernard Williams daringly asks?and still more daringly answers?one of the central questions of philosophy: what is the point of telling the truth? Lucid, penetrating, and profound, Williams' reflections are vitally important not for philosophers alone but for anyone interested in human thought and creativity."?Stephen Greenblatt, Cogan University Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University"This is a major, wide-ranging, and comprehensive book. A philosophical investigation that is also a literary and historical study, "Truth and Truthfulness" asks how and why we have come to think of accuracy, sincerity, and authenticity as virtues. Bernard Williams' account of their emergence is as detailed and imaginative as his defense of their importance is spirited and provocative. Williams asks hard questions, and gives them straightforward and controversial answers. His book does not simply describe and advocate these virtues of truthfulness; it manifests them."?Alexander Nehamas, author of "Virtues of Authenticity" 344 pages.
