English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032731672 | 187 pages | True PDF | 7.87 MB
In an age where fake news, conspiracy theories, and outright lies by political and cultural leaders are commonplace, we may be becoming accustomed to lying, or worse, even immune to it.Pseudologyunravels the reasons for this by describing a "science of lying" that looks at various aspects of this trait, from how it affects the brain to how it distorts perception. Interest in lying goes back to antiquity and writing and debate only increased in our present day, but what is missing is a treatment that synthesizes the work from linguists, political scientists, anthropologists, psychologists and sociologists, tying them to the philosophical and literary views of lying throughout history. Such a treatment can be called pseudology: an interdisciplinary science for classifying, collating and assessing ideas about lying. This book is a comprehensive treatment of pseudology, emphasising the importance of studying lying in our current climate.Pseudologyaddresses questions like:
- What is a lie?
- Why do we lie?
- Why are we so susceptible to lying?
- How does lying activate false beliefs and generate hatred of others?
- How has lying shaped the course of history (at least in some part)?
- How has lying been adopted as a basic thematic element in literature and the arts?
