Summary
Lars Fredrik Handler Svendsen: The Philosophy of Lies
This book is the result of extensive research on lying in everyday life.
What is a lie?
In order to fully understand the concept of a lie, it is necessary to analyze the concepts of truth, truthfulness, credibility, and bullshit. Lars Svendsen also explores the ethics of lying - why lying is almost always morally wrong and how lying to friends is especially bad because it raises the issue of trust.
"We persistently deceive ourselves, while at the same time we consider it our duty to be honest with ourselves." From lying to others to lying to oneself, which would be the treatment of lies in the closest relationships, we move on to lies at the level of society and the place of lies in political life. After this study summarizes the most important philosophical contributions to the consideration of the role that lying can or should have in politics, discussing thinkers such as Plato, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Weber, Hannah Arendt, the question arises as to why today's political actors - with an emphasis on state leaders - lie and to what extent they have a morally acceptable reason for it - from Plato's theory of the "noble lie" to Donald Trump.
Svendsen's conclusion is that if we agree here and there, we are all reliable most of the time. Trusting others makes us vulnerable, but "they will deceive you from time to time, but it is better to be deceived once in a while than to spend your life chronically not trusting others".
