Re: Harry S Frankfurt’s book: ‘On Bullshit’

There are probably quite a few people out there that believe this thread is horribly out of context and does not belong on a clarinet forum. I for one am glad it is here. The discovery of Harry Frankfurt has revolutionized my perceptions of academia in general and the faculty of philosophy in particular. I never could have imagined I would see the day that a university professor of any faculty , let alone philosophy,would assert that truth exists .
In the past I have been invited by political science professors to address issues of ethics and community values in the classroom. They claimed to share my values but dared not raise those issues themselves for fear of loss of employment.There was also a group of several professors that invited me to closed door discussions at the faculty club. I felt deeply honored until they told me I would have to arrive in darkness and enter discreetly through a back door to protect them from reprisal. Eventually I lost contact with all of them. They claimed they had to terminate our relationships because too many people had seen us together publicly thereby tarnishing their reputations. I deeply mourn the loss of our friendships and debates, even the hostile ones.
