Essay for Pilosophy—- Present A Comprehensive Theory of BS
In a clear, coherent, and logical essay, explain why people assign the word “bullshit” both to certain forms of commercial or corporate communication, for example advertising or “bluffing”, and also to certain kinds of jobs. Is it the same concept? A good answer will explain the concept of bullshit as explored in the Frankfurt and Graeber readings, provide at least one useful and original example of BS in both the speech and employment contexts, and solve the problem of why the same concept is applied to both. Use of the other readings as appropriate to your theory is highly recommended. No minimum page length. No title required. Due Monday, April 22.
