About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Company. 2001. Large octavo size [16x24cm approx]. Near Fine copy in Near Fine dustjacket. DJ now protected in our purpose-made clear archival plastic sleeve. An excellent copy. Dustjacket illustration by Roberto Innocenti. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 363 pages. Jeremy Campbell argues that deception should no longer be seen as artificial or deviant, but as a natural part of our world. Beginning with a study of evolutionary biology and the necessity (and ultimate value) of deceit in the animal kingdom, Campbell asks the difficult question of whether falsehood might, in fact, be instinctual. Guiding the reader through classical philosophy to more contemporary thinkers such as Freud and Nietzsche, Campbell links a multitude of disciplines and ideas in lucid and engaging prose, unsettling some of our most firmly held beliefs about truth and ethics. . 1st Edition. Hardback.
